Steel is an alloy of iron and Carbon.
The carbon content ranges from 0.1% to 2% .
Depending on the carbon content , different types of steel are made.
e.g. Forged Steel
Railway lines
Railway rolling stock wheels and axles.
Steel tools (Spanners/ hammers etc.,)
Sheet Steel for building ships, cars and white goods.
Razor strip, for honing to a sharp edge.
Steel can also have a percentage of other metals present, notably. chromiun, nickel, and tungstem.
Alloyed with chromiun and nickel forms 'stainless steel' to prevent rusting (cutlery)
Alloyed with tungstem, produces hard wearing steel; railway lines points/crossovers.
Phosphorus and sulphur can also be present to produce a steel with certain other characteristics.
