What are the environmental and social impacts of mining, processing and using steel?
Without it, you would not have many of the things that you enjoy today. Just think, no cannons, unless they were made of bronze, but that requires mining as well. No computers, no cars, no skate boards, no tall buildings, no pots and pans, no bath tubs, no factories to build things that are made out of non-metallic materials. No stereos, no TVs, no eating utensils, just think, you would have to eat like the Japanese do with bowls and your fingers. In short, just about everything around you is some how made with steel. If you are against steel and feel that it's impact on the ecology of the world is to great, what would you be willing to give up? Your car, ipod, computer, stereo, bed-everything about it uses steel in 0one way or another. Your Cd's, DVDs, just what would you want to give up because, yuck, it was made with steel equipment, or to some extent, made from steel.
I don't think society as we know it could exist without it. As for the enviroment there is damage from mining, processing and from using steel equiptment.
It contains less than 0.25 % carbon. These steels are hot worked and produced for beam and structural application. Low carbon steels are not hardened appreciably by hardening process of heat treatment. A decrease in carbon content improves ductility mild steels are used for wires, rods, thin sheets, solid drawn tube, boiler plates, steel joints, channels and angles, structural sections, drop forgings. they are further classifies into dead mild, and mild steel dead mild steel It contains 0.05% to 0.15% carbon. It is used for making steel wires, sheets, rivets, screws, pipe, nail and chain. It has a tensile strength of 390 N/mm2 and a hardness of about 115 BHN. there are many company which produce their products from this raw material like tube, pipe, S31803 Duplex tube fitting, pipe fitting etc
