Areas of application
Steel is a versatile material used in a variety of industries and applications due to its properties such as strength, toughness, machinability and corrosion resistance.
History
The history of steel stretches back thousands of years, from the Iron Age when iron began to replace bronze, to today's advanced materials. The breakthrough came in the 19th century with the Bessemer process, which enabled mass production and led to major infrastructure projects. The 20th century saw the development of specialty steels such as stainless steel, which revolutionized industries such as aerospace, construction, and medical technology. Today, steelmaking focuses on sustainability and energy efficiency for the future.
Fun fact
100Cr6, known as “bearing steel”, is used for roller bearings due to its hardness and wear resistance. It can be polished to extremely low surface roughness values to minimize friction and increase service life.
