At the end of the steel fabrication process, paint coatings are often applied, or hot dip galvanizing is carried out. In addition to providing an aesthetic finish, coatings are used for corrosion protection and fire resistance.

Lead, when combined with silver, was once believed to create an alloy that was known in alchemy as “philosophic mercury” (a synonym for the Philosopher's stone), a purified element that would convert base metals into precious metals, or, when consumed as an elixir, give immortality.

Stainless steel was made to resist corrosion, and different grades have different resistances. Even low grade stainless steel will resist corrosion in atmospheric or pure water environments, while higher grade stainless steel offers more resistance that works in extremely harsh environments.

The most common found metal on Earth is actually iron. Aluminum is the most common metal on the Earth’s surface, or crust, but iron makes up a majority of the Earth’s core.

A lot of my current build uses concrete, but I keep being told that it needs reinforcement. How do I do that? Usually, before concrete is poured, it needs to have steel laid out for reinforcement. The steel will make sure the concrete is hard and secure.

The principal difference between bronze and brass is quite basic. Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, while brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Both may have other metals added to alter or improve their basic properties.

Work hardening involves strengthening the metal material through deformation. When it comes to types of steel, stainless steel will harden the quickest, although the exact speed is going to depend on the specific grade of the alloy.

Many concrete buildings, roads, and bridges contain reinforcing steel bars referred to as "rebar." This steel reinforcement, often in the form of bars or mesh, helps make concrete stronger. The development of rebar has made it possible for architects and engineers to build taller, more stable structures.

What famous St. Louis, Missouri building was the first in the U.S. to use a frame made entirely of steel? If you guessed the Wainwright Building, you're right. It was built in 1891.

It’s easy to take steel’s strength and versatility for granted. While modern industrial ball bearings might be made of stainless or chrome steel, archeologists have unearthed ancient ball bearings made from materials like wood, bronze, stone, glass, iron, and sapphire.

Can you guess the approximate number of stainless grades on the market? If you guessed 60 or thereabouts, you're right. All of them fall into five major classes, though. They are: Austenitic, Ferritic, Martensitic, PH (Precipitation-hardening) and Duplex.
