When steel cools down, like other types of matter, it loses kinetic energy (kinetic energy is the energy that is produced by moving objects) as it loses kinetic energy, its force of attraction becomes stronger and becomes closer, thus causing steel to contract.

Freezing or solidification is the process in which a liquid turns into a solid when cold enough. So steel does freeze after it has been melted. The freezing point of steel is over 1000 degrees Celsius so it is most often seen as a solid.
