Industrially it's quite simple - steel cans are magnetic while aluminum cans aren't.
What are the steps involved in recycling steel cans?
1. Steel cans arrive at a recycling center. 2. The cans are removed from the conveyor belt with an electromagnet. 3. The cans are smashed and baled. 4. The steel cans are delivered to a facility where they are melted and cast into ingots. 5. The steel ingots are rolled out into sheets. 6. These sheets are delivered to manufacturers that turn them into new cans.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of steel vs aluminium cars?
Aluminium has some advantages over steel. Since it has a lower density than iron or steel, a car body made from aluminium will be lighter than the same car body made from steel. This results in improved fuel economy. Also, aluminium does not corrode easily, so a car body made from aluminium will corrode less, and may last longer, than one made from steel. However, aluminium is more expensive than steel. So a car made from aluminium is likely to be more expensive than one made from steel.

As a furniture material what is the difference between alluminium and steel?
As construction materials (for any purpose); Aluminium and Steel have many "pros & cons" when measured against one another. It all depends on the intended use of the finished article as to which material is more suitable in it's construction. Aluminium is very light, whereas Steel is relatively heavy. Steel rusts if not galvanised or otherwise treated; Aluminium does not. Aluminium is prone to fatigue and fracture quicker than Steel when placed under tension. Steel is much stiffer than Aluminium and doesn't bend as easily. Aluminium has a far lower heat tollerance than Steel Steel requires "finishing" (Painting or coating) in order to be asthetically pleasing. Aluminium just needs to be clean.
