Mild steel (iron containing a small percentage of carbon, strong and tough but not readily tempered), also known as plain-carbon steel and low-carbon steel, is now the most common form of steel because its price is relatively low while it provides material properties that are acceptable for many applications.
Aluminium is ideal for wiring power grids, including overhead power transmission lines and local power distribution lines because it provides a better conductivity to weight ratio than copper – also one of most common materials used in electrical applications.
Stainless steel metal is formed when the raw materials of nickel, iron ore, chromium, silicon, molybdenum, and others, are melted together. Stainless steel metal contains a variety of basic chemical elements that, when fused together, create a powerful alloy.
Intermediate solid steel products obtained by Hot rolling/Forging of ingots (in conventional process) or by Continuous casting of liquid steel are known as Semis. These are called so since they are intended for further rolling/forging to produce finished steel products.
Engineering steels are used for general engineering and manufacturing sectors. Steel is highly used in the automobile industry. Different types of steels are used in a car body, doors, engine, suspension, and interior.
