Steel is one of the
material that is used worldwide on larger scales.Steel is the world's most
important engineering and construction material. It is composed of iron, carbon
and other elements. Iron is the base of steel. Although steel is harder and
stronger than iron. It has high tensile strength, super ductility and low cost.
40% of energy is required to produce one ton of steel. Steel is widely used in
various fields.
USES OF STEEL:-
Some important uses of
steel are given below:
1. Steel is the world's
most recycled material that can be recycled very easily. Its unique magnetic
properties make it an durable material to recover from the stream to be recycled
2. Steel is
environmentally friendly and durable. It has great durability.
3.Compared to other
materials, steel requires less amount of energy to manufacture mild steel.
4. Steel can be
designed in various forms. It gives better shape and edge in terms of design
than iron which is used to make weapons.
5. Engineering steels
are used for general pupose engineering and manufacturing sectors.
6. All types of energy
sectors demand steel for infrastructure and resource extraction purposes.
7. Stainless steels are
utilised to produce offshore platforms and pipelines.
8. Steel is highly used
in automobile industry. Different types of steel materials are used in a car body, doors, engine,
suspension, and interior. An average of a car is made up of 50% steel.
9. Steel reduces the amount of CO-2 emissions.
10. Steel is used for
packaging and protecting goods from exposure to water, air and light.
11. Most household
appliances such as fridges, TVs, ovens, sinks etc. are made of steel.
12. Steel is used for
the production of industrial goods such as agricultural vehicles and machines.
13. Renewable energy
resources such as solar, water and wind energy use stainless steel components.
14. Mild steel is used
for building construction. It is also a highly preferred building material.
15. Standard stainless
steel is used as a cutlery material.
16. Due to its easy
welding capability and attractive finishing, steel has become a prominent
feature in modern architecture.
17. Stainless steel
gives a clean environment. This is why it is used for surgical implants.
18. Steel has a wide
range of temperatures that are used to make large sheets.
