General comment Steel is a strong, versatile metal and an alloy primarily composed of iron and carbon, with carbon content typically ranging from 0.2% to 2.1% by weight. It may also contain other elements such as chromium and nickel. Steel's properties, including its strength, durability, hardness, and ductility, are influenced by its carbon content and the addition of other alloying elements. It is heat-treated to improve strength and toughness and is known for its recyclability and resistance to corrosion and heat. Steel is widely used in construction, manufacturing, automotive, and infrastructure. |
