Routing steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, in which the carbon content can be as low as 2%. If the carbon percentage exceeds 2%, it is called cast iron. Steel is the world's most widely used material for buildings, infrastructure and industries.

There are more than 2,300 different types of steel, each with different properties. Steel differs from one type to another in how ductile, strong or how hard it is.

The properties of steel change with the addition of other metal elements such as nickel, chromium or manganese. In this way, steel can be made stainless or become highly resistant to heat, corrosion, moisture or acids.
