What is steel used for ?

[jonyadison22]

Steel is iron added with carbon with a rate close to 0%, corresponding to very slight traces, up to 2%. Carbon content has an impact on the characteristics of the metal.
There are two major families of steel: alloy steels and non-alloy steels. Alloy refers to chemical elements other than carbon added to the iron in accordance with a minimum variable content for each.
For example: 0.50% for silicon, 0.08% for molybdenum, 10.5% for chrome. Thus an alloy of 17% chrome and 8% nickel is used to create stainless steel. It is for this reason that there is not one but many types of steel.
