Steel exhibits a tensile strength often exceeding 400–2,000 MPa, depending on the alloy and heat treatment. This makes it capable of resisting deformation under load.
By controlling cooling rates and alloying elements, steel can shift between phases such as austenite (FCC), ferrite (BCC), pearlite, bainite, and martensite.
Despite its strength, steel maintains significant ductility (ability to deform plastically before failure), absorbing large amounts of energy in stress-strain conditions.
Zinc coatings (galvanization) provide cathodic protection, extending service life in harsh environments.
Steel is 100% recyclable without degradation of properties, making it one of the most sustainable materials globally.
