*Steel is a metal composed of iron plus varying amounts of carbon as well as otherelements such as chromium, nickel, molybdenum, zirconium, vanadium, tungsten, andso on.
Different types of steel - that is, steel with different properties and characteristics - areproduced by adjusting the chemical composition and adapting any of the differentstages of
the steelmaking process, such as rolling, finishing and heat treatment. As each of these factors can be modified, there is potentially virtually no limit to thenumber of different
steels that can be made. Currently there are over 3,000catalogued grades available (chemical compositions) of steel, not counting thosecreated to meet custom demand, ranging from basic
grades (such as for railwaytracks) to sophisticated high-alloy and stainless grades for specialised applications.
Products
Steel slabs, billets and blooms are known as semi-finished products. Finishedproducts include: hot- or cold-rolled flat products (such as plates, coils or sheets) andhot-rolled long
products (such as wire, bars, rails or beams.
