Many of the rivets were made with a large ratio of slag but they were originally above high-grade so, even diluted, they were still regulation-strength.
The rivets in the titanic were made of iron.
Substandard iron is typically composed of impurities and lower-quality materials compared to standard iron. It may contain higher levels of carbon, sulfur, or other undesirable elements that affect its strength and durability. This type of iron is often produced from recycled materials or inferior ores, leading to inconsistent properties and a greater likelihood of defects. As a result, substandard iron is generally unsuitable for structural applications where quality is critical.

No. It was made of iron and steel like other ships of that era.
Titanic was built of iron, steel, and too much wood to pass today's fire codes.
