A man of steel is what every girl wants and what every guy wants to be. Steel is like air, it's everywhere: from bridges
to fridges and from washing machines to canteens. Steel is mostly composed of iron and carbon. It contains small
amounts of manganese and even smaller amounts of silicon, phosphorous, oxygen, sulfur, and other elements.
Henry Bessemer created the Bessemer process in 1856 to manufacture steel cheaply.
Density is one of the numerous properties of steel. It is calculated by dividing the mass by the volume. Steel comes in
many different forms. Their densities differ by type (see tables below).

There are many uses for steel. Stainless steel, for example, is used for surgical tools and kitchen utensils. It is a type
of steel that contains low carbon levels and at least 10.5% of chromium. This results in corrosion resistance. Another
kind of steel, tool steel, is used for metal cutting tools an drill bits because it is hard, but brittle. The amount of carbon
in carbon steel determines the hardness of the steel. The more carbon it contains, the harder the steel. Carbon steel
is often used for automobile parts.
Steel and its various forms have multiple uses around the world. The nature of the steel depends on its content,
which results in varying densities. In most cases, the denser the steel, the harder it is. Hence, a man of steel is every
girl's dream.

There are five major classifications of steels: carbon steel, alloy steel, high-strength low-alloy steel, stainless steel
and tool steel. Carbon steels are the most common, containing various amounts of carbon, produce everything from
machines to bedsprings to bobby pins. Alloy steels have definite amounts of vanadium, molybdenum, manganese,
silicon and cooper. Alloy steels produce gears, carving knives and even roller skates. Stainless steels have
chromium, nickel amongst other alloy elements which sustains their color and reaction to rust. Stainless steel
products include pipes, space capsules, surgical equipment to kitchen equipment. Last but not least, tool steels have
tungsten, molybdenum amongst other alloy elements. These elements create the strength and ability of the tool steel
products, which include parts for manufacturing operations as well as machinery.
The varying amounts of carbon, amongst other elements in each of the types of steel create a variety in densities or
specific gravities. (Specific gravity or relative density is the ratio of a material's density to that of water.)
Stainless steels are the most dense, coming in at 8000 kg/m3. Though the densities vary, the density of steel is about
7700 kg/m3. The density of steel are measured in g/cm3, kg/m3, kg/L and lb/f3, with kg/m3 being the more commonly
used measurement. A good way to remember the density of steel is to remember that titanium has about half the
density of steel and aluminum is about one-third. If you can remember that, then you know what you're doing!
