There are a lot of kinds of pipe that should not be used for steam heat. If you are using steam having a pipe burst can burn or even kill people in the house. It's not something to treat lightly so you should be very careful and use pipe that is rated for both the temprature and pressure of your heating system. If you don't know then please please please call a professional. Take it from someone who has suffered through 3rd degree burns. It is so not worth a burn debridement.

How can I stop steam radiator from banging?

It depends on the type of system you have. 1 pipe in, or 1 pipe in and 1 pipe out. Single pipe in/out, try replacing the relief valve or simply shimming the end of the radiator opposite where the pipe comes in. This lets water bleed out of the radiator and stops the klanging.
