What is "steel"?
Steel is a strong, durable metal made by combining iron with small amounts of carbon and other elements. It is widely used in construction, manufacturing, and tools because of its strength, flexibility, and resistance to damage. Steel is used to build bridges, buildings, vehicles, and machinery.
