Does steel have an odor

Answer 1

All matter has the potential to be smelt. Some we can smell easily and other things like Rocks and Metal are more difficult to smell...

But we have no problem smelling rust.

If its made of matter and it vibrates with its own special frequency then it has a smell...

All of the elements and all of the molecules that the elements make up have a smell...

You just may need a really sensitive nose...

But what smell is, is the atoms mixing frequency's as they very slowly evaporate and in-turn release their energy back to the universe.

All of our senses work on the principal of the detection of vibration and frequency.

Answer 2

In word yes steel has an "odor". Steel is made mostly of iron and has a carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight, depending on the grade. Carbon is the most common alloying material for iron, but various other alloying elements are used, such as manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten. When combining these metals to form the alloy coal is used to heat the elements and coal gives off a horrid scent therefore steel has a scent but only during the process of actually making the steel. I know this because i am from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania the "steel city"
