The document discusses steel and stainless steel. It defines steel as an alloy of iron with carbon as the primary alloying element. Steel was first produced around 4,000 years ago and is strong, resistant to corrosion, and 100% recyclable. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and nickel that does not rust or stain easily. It was discovered in 1913 and is used widely in cookware, buildings, transportation and industrial equipment due to its corrosion resistance, strength and recyclability. Both steel and stainless steel can be recycled repeatedly without loss of quality, saving resources and reducing environmental impact with each recycling.
2. STEEL
• Steel is
an alloy of iron.
• Carbon is the
primary alloying
element.
• Alloy steel is steel to
which additional
alloying elements
have been
intentionally added
to modify the
characteristics of
steel.
3. STEEL
• ORIGINS:
-Steel was known in
antiquity.
-It may have been
produced by managing
bloomeries, or ironsmelting facilities.
-The earliest known
production of steel is
about 4,000 years old.
4. STEEL
• PROPERTIES:
-It’s found in the Earth's
crust only in the form of an
ore.
-It transfers heat and
electricity.
-It can be forged into
different shapes.
-It’s very strong and
resistant to fractures.
-It’s long lasting.
6. STEEL
• RECYCLYING:
-Steel is 100% recyclable
-It can be recycled an
infinite amount of times,
saving energy and raw
materials each time it.
-It’s re-processed.
-Most steel has around
20% recycled content.
7. STAINLESS STEEL
• It’s a type of steel
formed by chromium,
carbon & nickel.
• It’s a steel alloy.
• It does not easily
corrode, rust or stain
with water.
• It’s not fully stainproof.
8. STAINLESS STEEL
• ORIGINS:
• It was discovered by
Harry Brearley in
1913.
• This happened while
he was experimented
with steel alloys.
9. STAINLESS STEEL
• PROPERTIES:
• Corrosion resitance
• Resistance to high and low
temperature
• Easy of manufacture
• Strength
• Aesthetics
• Hygienic properties
• Duty cycle.
10. STAINLESS STEEL
USES:
Cookware
Garden tools and furniture
Buildings,elevators
Bus stops, telephone booths, subway
cars and stations equipment
• Tools to create pharmaceuticals
products
• Industrial plants
• Parts of aircraft engines and much
more!

11. STAINLESS STEEL
• RECYCLYNG:
• Approx 90% of stainless steel
is recycled.
• It can be recycled again and
again.
• No loss of quality .
• Its components are
recycled in the same process.
• Recycling saves resources and
reduces greenhouse gas.
• It’s good for the
environment, for our future
and for future generations.
