Steel, a durable combination of fundamental elements along with iron and other substances, displays a distinctive color ranging from grey to bluish-grey. It is easily accessible in various forms such as flat and elongated steel, produced through a meticulous process involving the melting of raw materials such as coal, iron ore, and lime in a blast furnace, and subsequent elimination of impurities. Its fundamental role spans across a wide range of applications, including the manufacturing of kitchenware, electrical cable trays, machine parts, and hinges. Its attributes include heightened resilience, adaptable design potential, impressive resistance to pulling forces, protection against rust, and the ability to be molded easily, leading to the prolonged durability of the end products. In contrast to iron, it can be shaped and formed intricately, providing a wide array of sizes and exceptional purity. This versatile material finds extensive use in numerous sectors, such as automotive, manufacturing, and construction, owing to its flexible nature and long-lasting characteristics.
