What is the meaning of men are like steel When they lose their temper they lose their worth?

Well, when steel is heated cooled rapidly by plunging it into water it becomes hard and can be sharpened to a fine edge which will not go blunt very quickly.
The process is called tempering and 'tempered' steel has properties that make it more useful than 'untempered' steel. Tempered steel loses this property if it gets heated again.
Thus the expression is a play on the word 'temper' - a 'pun'.
A person in 'temper' is a person in a cross, hot rage. Thus for a man to lose his temper is for a man to fly into a rage.
The saying
= "men are like steel, when they lose their temper they lose their worth?" = means that a man in a rage has lost a valuable property (the ability to keep a cool head) just like steel looking its valuable property (its tempering) when it gets re-heated.
The expression tell men that hey should not lose their 'temper'

Any amount. If the steel has undergone any abuse and ages, such as my cold steel Grosse Messer did, then you will feel invincible until it cracks like a porcelain plate.

Depends on you and its temper.
