Introduction to Steel
1
Why “Steel”???
 Alloy:
Alloys are combinations of metals or metals with other elements. An alloy is a homogeneous mixture of two or more
metals or a metal and a non-metal.
 Abundance of Iron:
Iron is the most abundant metal on Earth 5.0% of Earth’s crust after aluminum which makes up 8.1% of Earth’s crust.
 Corrosive Nature of Iron:
Rusting of iron refers to the formation of rust. This rust is formed from a redox reaction between oxygen and iron in
an environment containing water. Rusting involves a Series of chemical reactions:
Fe(OH)2 ⇌ FeO + H2O
4Fe(OH)2 + O2 + xH2O → 2Fe2O3.(x+4)H2O
Fe(OH)3 ⇌ FeO(OH) + H2O
FeO(OH) ⇌ Fe2O3 + H2O

Introduction To Steel
 Steel is an alloy made up of iron and carbon with a small percentage of other metals such as chrome, aluminum,
cobalt.
 Steel has several properties, including hardness, toughness, tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, fatigue
strength, corrosion, plasticity, malleability.
 Steel has many different types depending upon the types of metal used and the percentage of the metal
content in a particular type of steel.
 Steel is far better than iron because it can’t easily be corroded and is far stronger than iron.
3
General Types of Steel
 Carbon Steel:
Carbon steel is steel with carbon content from about 0.05 up to 2.1 percent by weight. It has three different types:
low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, high carbon steel.
 Stainless Steel:
stainless steel, any one of a family of alloy steels usually containing 10 to 30 percent Chromium. It has incredible
resistance to corrosion and heat.
 Alloy Steel:
Alloy steel, is a mixture of several different metals, like nickel, copper, and aluminum. These tend to be more on the
cheaper side, more resistant to corrosion, and are favored for some car parts, pipelines, ship hulls, and mechanical
projects.
 Tool Steel:
Tool steel is made up of things like cobalt, molybdenum, and tungsten, and that is the underlying reason why tool
steel has such advanced durability and heat resistance features.

Uses of Steel
 Cutlery & utensils:
As you are more than likely aware, the cutlery and utensils we use every day are mainly manufactured from stainless
steel.
 Structure:
Structural steelwork makes up for around 70% of multi-story building frames built throughout the United Kingdom.
A structural steelwork frame can be erected in a matter of days rather than weeks, with a 20-40% reduction in
construction time depending on the project’s scale.
 Appliances:
Most appliances in modern homes, such as refrigerators, televisions, sinks, ovens, and so on are made of steel. A
steel appliance won’t easily scratch during accidental collisions and will resist stains and rust.
 Screws & Hinges:
Many screws and hinges you’ll find around your home are made from steel. Stainless steel is an excellent choice,
thanks to its extra resistance to rust and corrosion and its ability to withstand extremely high temperatures.

Classic Example of Steel being Used in
Buildings
 The U.S Steel Tower is the 37th tallest skyscraper in the world. The 64- story tower
was finished in 1970 and is 256 meters high.
 The steel Tower usually stands apart due to its unique triangular shape with
intended corners
 The mainframe is made from steel, also displayed on the exterior of the building
throughout huge Corten steel columns that resist the corrosive effects of all the
weather conditions.
 The tower has over 40,000 metric tons of structural steel and 214,000 square
meters of leasable office space. On a sunny day, the Steel Tower is visible from as
far as 80 km.
 Abramovich and Fritz were the chief architects.
10
Advantages of Steel
 Speed of Erection
 Quality of construction
 Ease of Repair
 Repetitive Use
 Expanding existing structures
11
Thermal Properties and Fire Resistance
 Thermal property largely depends upon alloying in elements.
 Carbon is added to iron to make it stronger. Melting point change
depending on the amount of carbon present by mass. But once carbon
content in “steel” exceeds 2.1% by mass it is called cast iron.
 Steel loses strength when heated sufficiently. There is a critical
temperature after which it cannot safely support the load.
12
Limitation of Steel
 Corrosion.
 Expensive fireproof treatment.
 Subjected to buckling.
 Can be more expensive than
other materials.
