Uses of Metal |
Cheapest, most common, most useful, and most important metal. Used extensively for the making of steel and its associated alloys. Products include cars, steel beams, rails, dishes, and bridges. Iron is the backstone of modern civilization. Few are aware to what extent we have become dependent upon it in homes, farms, cities, machines, automobiles, trains, and ships. Without it we would spin our clothes by hand and travel in wooden carts over dusty roads. |
