Steel is carbonized iron, which is commonly used in numerous ways.
History[edit | edit source]
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[edit | edit source]
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]
