Why is it important?

because steel is used universally, is the most important metal today in terms of volume (mass) and price. It is ubiquitous, in construction, infrastructure, machines, transport, packaging, at the core of the energy system, etc. At the same time, like most materials, steel is mostly invisible, i.e. not seen by most people. Let us see the world, including the anthroposphere, as it really is!

Perspectives

The production of steel is likely to double by the middle of the century, because of its usefulness to the functioning of society. This is actually true of most structural materials.
