| Technical purpose of product or process | Steel is widely used in structural frameworks for buildings and bridges, automotive components, pipelines, heavy machinery, and consumer appliances. In construction, structural steel beams and columns form the skeleton of high-rise buildings and industrial facilities. In manufacturing, steel is machined into precision parts or rolled into sheets for appliances and enclosures. Its ability to be welded, formed, and treated makes it suitable for demanding environments requiring strength, reliability, and longevity. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Technology description including background system | Steel is a versatile alloy composed primarily of iron and carbon, valued for its exceptional strength, durability, and adaptability across a wide range of applications. Available in multiple grades and finishes—including carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steels—it offers varying levels of hardness, corrosion resistance, and weldability. With consistent mechanical properties and high tensile strength, steel serves as a foundational material in construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
