Steel is very strong. Our society is built of concrete and steel. The world as we know it would not exist without steel. Are there any military aircraft carriers that are not built of steel? But there are some lighter materials out there. What that means is that if you use aluminum to make, say, a seatpost for a bicycle, you'll have to make a thicker one out of aluminum to make it as strong as a steel one, but the aluminum one will be lighter while being as strong as the steel one. There are always trade offs when designing and engineering things and considering what metal to use.
Think about the bottom bracket on a bike with a 3-piece crank set. The axle is steel, or maybe titanium (same strength, but less weight - and more $'s!). Loads are so high here that this critical component is not made of aluminum 'cause it isn't tough enough to handle the stresses put on the part. And steel is the metal of choice for ball and roller bearings, particularly ones that take lots of abuse. Ceramics and carbide are harder, but they're more brittle, and can shatter under severe loading. It is most unusual to see bearings made out of something other than steel.
There are a couple of ways of measuring the strength of a metal, but the numbers don't make sense unless you compare one metal to another. Additionally, steel comes in many different alloy forms, and their characteristics will vary. Throw in the different techniques used to harden or otherwise heat treat the steel and you'll be here all day talking about how strong steel is. Yield strength and tensile strength of steel are, in general, pretty high, though. Steel is tough and strong.
How can we answer this question if you do not tell us the size of the piece? Perhaps you are asking for the weight densityor mass density of steel, which has already been answered here on WikiAnswers.
Carbon steel's density is approximately 7.85 g/cm^3. Not knowing which particular unit you want, or which particular type of steel to which you're referring, that's about as specific as one can get.
That depends on the quantity and the iron to carbon ratio.

use 7850 kilograms per cubic metre.
The weight of steel is dependent on the amount.
unit weight of steel is 490 lbs/cft
or 7800 kg/cum
Somewhere between 7480 kg/m3 and 8000 kg/m3. (Density: 7.48 - 8)
No set answer to that, as steel pipes come in various diameters and wall thicknesses. If you want to be real accurate, they also come in various steel alloys, which do have some difference in density between them.
=3.14 x d2 /4 x 7850x1m =3.14x(8)2/4 x7850 =50.24x 7850 =394384x1m =394383/(1000x1000) =0.394 =0.394kg/m
Calculate the length of steel you are going to use the building and muliply the length with unit weight of the steel.ex: 12 m 25mm steel weight is12 x 3.85 =46.2 kg3.85 kg/m is the unit weight of 25mm bar
volume of steel multiplied by7850= wt of steel in kgs. Please note that wt of 1 Cum steel is 7850 kg Volume of steel bar can be calculated = cross-sectional area of bar X length cross-sectional area of Bar= pie x d X d/4 (where d is diameter of bar)
unit wt of reinforcement bar can be obtained in kg/ meter by d*d/162.162 where d is the dia of bar The formula is based on the density of rebar 490 lb/cft
kilo/ tonnes
375 pounds
weight of all steel can be calculated by multiplying unit volume with density.
V= 529+tgy-ur/gay. = steel
8.913 Kg/m
20 MM
7.9kg/sq.M
DxD/162 this is the formula for finding unit weight of steel
If it section is a rolled like beam,channel,square,angles&flat. weight=Length x unit weight unit weight of this section is=123kg/m^3 If it is plate or sheet weight=Length x width x thickness x 7.85(sp.gravity of steel)
6.568 kg/m
16mm dia weight for running feet
