An alloy of iron that usually contains between 0.1% and 1.5% carbon with other elements. Iron is melted in a furnace, and air or oxygen is blown through it to combine with and get rid of the excess carbon. After sufficient carbon has been removed, the correct amounts of such alloying elements as manganese, molybdenum, chromium, nickel, vanadium, and tungsten are added. The steel is poured from the furnace into ingots, which are rolled or forged into the desired shape or form.
