Steel is generally considered to be an elastic material within certain limits. It can deform under stress but will return to its original shape once the stress is removed, as long as the deformation does not exceed its yield strength. However, if the stress surpasses this threshold, steel will behave inelastically and undergo permanent deformation. Thus, its behavior can be both elastic and inelastic, depending on the applied stress levels.
