4. Applications
Steel products can be divided into two main categories: flat products and long products. Flat products include sheets, coils and thin plates, while long products include heavy sections such as beams, rails and wires. These semi-finished products are used in a variety of industries, from construction and food packaging to electronic components and ship hulls.
4.1 In construction
Since the inventions of Ressemer, Martin and Thomas made it possible to produce standardized steel, mass production of this metal has accelerated. This has led to an increase in its use in construction, where it has become the most commonly used material for architectural structures such as bridges and buildings. Although steel is not the basic material for these structures, it is...
