  The Age of Big Business - CHAPTER III - THE EPIC OF STEEL
The American farmer now encloses his lands with steel wire, the Southern planter binds his cotton with steel ties, and modern America could never gather her abundant harvests without her mighty agricultural implements, all of which are made of steel.
Steel, of course, is merely iron which has been refined--freed from certain impurities, such as carbon, sulphur, and phosphorus.
The steel companies which are located here do not have to bring their materials laboriously from a distance but possess, immediately at hand, apparently endless store of the three things needful for making steel--iron ore, coal, and limestone.

 The Twentieth-Century Metal
By 1920, in addition to its use in building railroads and automobiles, more steel was needed for oil refineries and storage tanks, for drill and line pipe, and for rolling into massive, one-piece beams that ushered in a new generation of skyscrapers, heavy bridge building and the construction of elevated railroad lines.
By 1929, the nations steel output had risen to 63.2 million tons, up from 47.2 million tons in 1920, and among the consuming markets, growth was most noticeable in the automobile industry, which displaced the railroads as the number one source of steel demand.
Steel production rose sharply from 67 million tons in 1940 to 89.6 million tons in 1944, and although all types of steel were in demand, plates used in ship construction were the foremost item produced by steel making during this period.

 The Early History of Cutlery by Mary Louise Huebner
From the Stone Age, with its axes, knives and spearheads made of fragments of hard stones such as flint; through the Bronze and Iron Ages, and up to the Steel Age of today the type of cutlery used has furnished an index to the era.
As a result of this refinement to stainless steel, stainless steel knife blades have dominated the market for almost the last 50 years; carbon steel blade knives are available, but account for a very small percentage of the market.
With this process, cutlery steel is prepared at the steel mill rather than being hammered out by hand.The steel mill simply manufactures steel to a certain formula and delivers coils of this steel to the knife manufacturer.

 Viking Age Fire-Steels and Strike-A-Lights
The steel does not have to be in the classic "C" shape of most Viking steels, though this is a handy configuration that ensures a good grip and protects the fingers on the striking hand.
The friction energy of the strike is enough to heat these steel particles so that they burn in atmospheric oxygen to form Fe, the grey oxide which used to be called "smithy scale." The harder the steel, the smaller, and hotter, the pieces will be.
Although most modern flint-and-steel fire-makers strike the steel with the flint, apparently in the Viking Age the actual method was to strike with the steel in the dominant hand.
