| Steel is an alloy and consists mostly of iron with | | | | construction and repair of office buildings, homes, and |
| carbon. Although carbon is most cost-effective alloy | | | | other structures. Steel Pipes and Steel Tubes are also |
| material, various other alloying elements are also | | | | used as components in mechanical systems as Rollers |
| used, including manganese, vanadium, chromium, and | | | | in conveyer belts, Compactors, as casing in |
| tungsten. These alloying elements harden the iron and | | | | constructions for concrete pilings, Pressure |
