Generally impurities that cannot provide a consistant strength throughout the whole material. A 'pig' is the term for a section of iron as cast. These are often brittle, and need the several percent of carbon reduced before the material takes on the superior malleability of mild steel. For rails, a hard wearing surface is also helpful, so that a remelt with some manganese and other alloy ingredients are added to produce alloy steel which is rolled into rail cross sections, which acts as a form of toughening.

Is a roof allowed to cross a neighbors boundary?

Basically, land ownership known as fee simple title, is considered to extend to the center of the earth blow the property lines and the top of the sky above the property lines. Therefore, improvements such as buildings can not extend beyond the limits of the property on which they are located. Most communities have building/zoning regulations requiring setbacks - a minimum distance from the property line which no structure or any part thereof can encroach upon - which generally makes the question of a roof extending across property lines moot. However, in the event there is no zoning or if an exception is granted, a roof still can not extend across the property line unless the adjoining landowner grants air rights which allow the above-ground encroachment.
