How do you get steel?

Answer 1

A generally hard, strong, durable, malleable alloy of iron and carbon, usually containing between 0.2 and 1.5 percent carbon, often with other constituents such as manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, copper, tungsten, cobalt, or silicon, depending on the desired alloy properties, and widely used as a structural material.

Answer 2

A process for making steel in an electric arc furnace includes providing a molten charge which is a melt composed of a high carbon ferrous metal in the electric arc furnace by one of preparing the melt in the furnace or introducing the melt into the furnace, the high carbon ferrous metal being composed of less than 3% carbon, less than 0.2% silicon, and less than 0.2% manganese, and the melt having a temperature of at least 1375° C.; adding to the molten charge provided in the furnace a solid metallic charge composed of least one material selected from the group consisting of scrap steel, hot briquetted iron, direct reduced iron, and iron ore to provide a charge mixture; refining the charge mixture by melting in the absence of gaseous oxygen to provide a molten steel; and superheating, finishing and tapping the molten steel into a ladle for subsequent casting thereof.

Answer 3

Steel is just a form of iron that is refined differently to iron in a blast furnace, as it is allowed to have a small amount of carbon and other alloying metals. However other forms of steel such as weathering steel and stainless steel have other metals (chromium, magnesium etc.) added to them to give them the properties that they require for their particular purpose.

Answer 4

High Carbon Steel is something you gather from mining just like the pig iron.It's lvl 2, so you can mine it until lvl 20 and probably won't come across any until then anyways. You'll start to see Black Iron Ore lying around doing Arch quests. Until then check auctions and player vendors.

Answer 5

Steel is typically produced through the process of smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, along with the addition of carbon and other alloying elements. The molten iron is then refined to remove impurities and control the final composition of the steel. Recycling scrap metal is also a common method for obtaining steel.

Answer 6

Basic steel contains iron and carbon. They can add other things to it--chromium, vanadium, manganese, molybdenum, and tungsten are popular--but there is always iron and carbon in steel.

Answer 7

steel is made from iron ores. they melt down the ores purify them and you have steel.

Answer 8

Iron and carbon
