List the physical and chemical properties of different types of steel.

Steel is an alloy, a combined metal of iron and carbon. The carbon content in steel reaches a maximum of 1.5%. Due to its hardness and strength, steel is used in the construction of buildings, bridges, automobiles, and many other industrial and engineering applications. Stainless steels are used in construction where corrosion resistance is a major advantage.

Steel has a density of 7,850 kg / m3, which makes it 7.85 times denser than water. Its melting point is 1.510 ° C, which is much higher than that of most metals.

Steel linear expansion coefficient at 20 ° C in microns is 11.1, which makes it more resistant to dimensional changes with temperature changes than, for example, copper (16.7), tin (21.4) and lead (29.1 ).
