Properties: Steel is an alloy primarily composed of iron and carbon, known for its high strength, durability, and versatility. Depending on alloying elements (e.g., chromium, nickel, manganese), it can exhibit enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and heat tolerance. Carbon content influences its mechanical properties, ranging from ductile low-carbon steel to hard high-carbon steel.

Applications: Automotive components (gears, chassis), construction (beams, rebars), machinery parts (bearings, tools), pipelines, industrial equipment, consumer appliances.

General Surface Treatments: Anodizing, Electroplating, Passivation, Blackening, Electrophoresis, Spray Painting, Screen Printing, Laser Engraving.
