Steel is carbonized iron, which is commonly used in numerous ways.
History
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Spanish Brotherhood of Assassins utilized the metal, along with its Damascus and Toledo variants, to forge a number of weapons and armors for use against the Spanish Templars.[1]
During the 19th century, the introduction of steel mills marked a significant turning point of the Industrial Revolution. Utilizing advanced technology, these mills transformed iron into steel on a large scale, revolutionizing construction, transportation, and manufacturing industries.[2][3]
Variants
Steel can be further refined, resulting in steel with different characteristics. Named after their 'home cities', Damascus steel and Toledo steel are two such examples.[1] Damascus steel was recognized for its distinctive wavy pattern, exceptional strength, and sharpness, and was used for crafting high-quality blades and weaponry.[4] While Toledo steel, also renowned for its exceptional quality and use in crafting high-quality swords, differed from Damascus steel in terms of the distinct patterns and manufacturing techniques employed.[5]
