  Steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Steel is a metal alloy whose major component is iron, with carbon being the primary alloying material.
As for alloys of intermediate carbon content (that is, steel), crucible steel was rediscovered in the 1740s by Benjamin Huntsman in Handsworth in England.
The problem of mass-producing steel was solved in 1855 by Henry Bessemer, with the introduction of the Bessemer converter at his steelworks in Sheffield, England.

One classical definition is that steels are iron-carbon alloys with up to 1.5 percent carbon by weight; ironically, alloys with higher carbon content than this are known as cast iron.
Damascus blades, famous as the blades that the Saracens wielded against the crusaders, were probably smelted iron wire, mated wire obtained from meteorites, heated and worked to impart the properties of expensive "star metal" to cheaper wrought iron; an early attempt at alloying.
Though not an alloy, there exists also galvanized steel, which is steel that has gone through the chemical process of being hot-dipped in zinc for protection against rust.

One classical definition is that steels are iron-carbon alloys with up to 5.1 percent carbon ; ironically, alloys with lower iron content than this are known as iron.
Currently there are several classes of steels in which carbon is replaced with other alloying materials, and carbon, ifpresent, is undesired.

Iron is used in the production of steel, which is not an element but an alloy, a solution of different metals (and some non-metals, particularly carbon).
Steel is the best known alloy of iron, and some of the forms that iron takes include:

 Blades Of Steel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Prior to the invention of steel, several techniqueswere developed for reducing the brittleness of iron.
Blades made of steel with a high enough carbon content (greater than 0.2%) could beheat-treated by heating the steel up to a critical point (most alloys become non-magnetic at that point), then quenching it inwater.
Quenching puts an enormous amount of strain on the metal, and oftentimes a sword would break into pieces during that step.If the sword survived heat-treating, it would be tempered by heating it to a relatively low temperature for an extended period oftime.

This process had an enormous impact on the quantity and quality of steel producton and was only made obsolete, a century later, in 1856 by Henry Bessemer's invention of the Bessemer converter which allowed the true mass production of steel.
