While everyone knows about steel, many may not know its exact origin and what makes it an important material for so many industries around the world. We're here to answer some of the most common steel-related questions.

 

When was steel invented?

The earliest archaeological evidence of steel dates back to 1800 BC, although experts cannot attribute the invention of steel to a single person. Blacksmiths in the 13th century BC discovered that carbon made iron harder. Iron production in Anatolia dates back to 2000 BC, and the technology spread throughout Europe and Asia. Various regions including China, Egypt, Japan and Rome have experimented with heat treatment to strengthen steel.

 

What is steel used for?

Steel is used in a variety of applications, including:

Railroads, Highways and Construction

Auto parts and production

Manufacture of electrical appliances such as washing machines, microwaves and ovens

Kitchen utensils such as knives, racks and pans

There are many other places where steel is used. Steel is environmentally friendly, sustainable and durable. It is very valuable because it is easy to recycle and can be designed in various forms and ways. There are many different types of steel, including:

Galvanized steel

Galvanized aluminum steel

cold rolled steel

Stainless steel

electrical steel

 

Is steel a natural resource?

Steel is an alloy made from the natural resource iron ore. However, technicians must introduce carbon and other elements during heat treatment to convert iron ore into steel. Iron makes up almost all of the Earth's core, making up 6% of the Earth's crust. Although steel is a natural resource and one of the most abundant elements on earth, it wasn't until the Iron Age that smelting technology was invented and steel was first produced.

 

How much does steel weigh?

Steel weighs 0.2833 pounds per cubic inch. A professional must calculate the volume in cubic inches to get the weight of the rebar. However, the weight of steel depends on how it is processed and the type of steel that is measured. The final density depends on the elements alloyed with the initial iron material.

 

What is the temperature at which steel boils?

The boiling point of iron is about 2,750 degrees Fahrenheit. The boiling point of steel can vary, but is usually slightly lower, around 2500 degrees Fahrenheit.

 

Does steel rust?

Steel will rust. Stainless steel contains a lot of iron, which oxidizes quickly and rusts. However, stainless steel is often combined with chromium to prevent oxidation and rust. Additionally, galvanized steel is usually treated with a thin layer of zinc, which helps prevent rusting.
