The primary use of steel casting is to replace cast iron due to the need for a stronger metal. Usually mining machinery and engine cylinder blocks use steel casting.
No, not all steels contain cobalt. Cobalt is a trace element that can be found in some steels, particularly in specialty steels with specific characteristics, but it is not a required element in all steel compositions.
Steels used for impact tools belong to a specific tool steel category call shock-resisting steels. This category includes grades such as S-1, S-5 and S-7. Of these grades S-7 is by far the most commerically produced grade. S-1 and S-5 are manufactured in limited quantities for very specific uses. This type of tool steel is produced to withstand the severe impact for tools such as chisels and hammers where they will be used repeatedly. The toughness of these tool steels is extremely high while the wear resistance is very low. Some tool steels such as H-13, CPM 1V and ASP 2012 offer high levels of toughness for impact tools while offering better wear resistance. Please see the related link for information regarding tool steels and their uses.
normally it cover higher low and medium carbon steels without any other functional alloying elements. But mild steel is a very non-technical usage to describe any steel. Mostly they are defined by UTS and weldability, drawability etc.
Stainless steels that are commonly used in the chemical industry include austenitic (e.g., grades 304, 316), duplex (e.g., grade 2205), and super duplex (e.g., grade 2507). These stainless steels offer good corrosion resistance, high strength, and are resistant to various chemicals and harsh environments typically found in chemical processing plants. Proper material selection based on the specific chemical exposure is critical to ensure long-term performance and safety.

Iron is used as a parent material in all steels. You can think of steels ans stainess steel types such as ferritic, austenitic, martensitic, duplex, super duplex stainless steels and many more commercial names that has many different categories. Structural steels are used in construction of buildings and bridges. iron as a major component in steel is also used in construction of piping systems in chemical and metallurgical industries as well as in reinforcements during building. These, including car manufacturing as sheet steel and good quality kitchen ware as mainly type AISI304 and AISI303 stainless steels, are major uses of iron.

Tungsten is a chemical element with symbol W and an atomic number of 74. It is mainly used in making electric light filaments. It is also a major component in cemented carbides and high speed steels.
Aluminium alloys or steels
Special steels
Silicon is used as a deoxidising (killing) agent in the melting of steel, as a result, most steels contain a small percentage of silicon. Silicon contributes to hardening of the ferritic phase in steels and for this reason silicon killed steels are somewhat harder and stiffer than aluminium killed steels.
