About The Material

Steel is a metal alloy made up mainly of iron and carbon, with small amounts of other elements such as manganese, silicon, sulfur, and phosphorus. The carbon content in steel typically ranges between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight, with higher carbon content resulting in a harder and stronger metal.

Steel is one of the most widely used materials in construction, transportation, and manufacturing due to its strength, durability, and versatility. It is used to make a wide range of products, from cars and ships to buildings and infrastructure.
