Steel
Iron and many types of steel are all common examples of ferrous metals.
The durability of these composites, ferrous metals are often used in
construction, pipelines, and even the creation of tools.
By changing the amount of Iron and Carbon or adding in a few other
materials, steel can be transformed to become anything from the thick
steel beams used in skyscrapers to shiny stainless steel.
Examples of ferrous metals include:
o Mild Steel – Used for general engineering and building purposes
o Stainless Steel – A ferrous metal that resists rust due to the presence of
chromium
o Cast Iron – Used for vehicle engines, utility hole covers and cooking
applications
It is Brittle.
Resistance to deformation.
Alloy Steel
Carbon Steel
Every steel is an alloy , but not all
steel are alloy steel.
