STEEL...AN ALLOY


Image Source: http://www.germes-online.com/direct/dbimage/50261372/Stainless_Steel_Tube_Fittings.jpg

Steel is an alloy (combination of iron and carbon elements). This is an alloy that had been in used in so many ways that benefit a lot of people.

Click this for video: STEEL

1) Imagine a world without tall buildings, without long bridges or cars. Can you imagine the world without steel? How important is steel for you?

2) If you have the skill to combine elements, what alloy are you making? What are its characteristics and uses? How can you use it to help other people?

1. Steel to me is very important, for example in classrooms there are steel legs to hold up the chair, and without it we won't be able to sit in comfort,and we'll always have to stand up the whole day, tired and exhausted. Steel can also form buildings, the steel in our houses so that they don't fall apart during a typhoon.Iwould say that steel is really a big part of my life.

2.If I had the skill to combine elements I would make a product call stern,or also known as a mixture of steel and iron.It can have double the support since it is combined of very strong materials.It also never rusts due to a chemical formula that puts a coating on it so that it is both rust proof. It is probably has more luster than gold too.People can use it to build more permanent buildings that will stay clean and in perfect shape even after a couple decades and more!!!You can also use this product for making beautiful pots and pans.You can also be able to take it down, or in other means to also bend and fold it for future generations too!!

1.Without steel my life would be borring.Steel is a metal people need in order to live.People use steel for many things such as sports,school, and other activities.

2If i had the skill then i would make an element that would combine two metals, steel and iron.

Steel is very important, without steel our life is like a piece of garbage. For example: Happy tourists shopping at the store, oh no! A thyphoon! Run for your lives! We don't have steel. Oh no!!! Even worse, our store is gone. Now people will have to sweat like pigs and have nothing to eat all day. Look at how important steel is. Bye!

1. A world without steel is like a farmer without cattle. Steel is an important part of our life. Almost everything we have have steel and a lot of steel helps us. Steel is also like our shield, it protects us during storms that are dangerous.

2. If I had the skill to combine elements, I would make a very strong metal, stronger than everything. Then we could make everything once and we could save oxygen for the WORLD. And if we had a lot of oxygen saved, global warming wouldn't be as bad and then the Earth wouldn't explode.

1. Steel is very important to me because you will need a steel to build a house.if we do not have steel we are poor.Steel is formed by malleables and something else.

2. If i could make something I would make somthing very strong that won't have a weakness. Everything has a weakness so that sucks.

Steel is very important, but I could imagine a world without steel. I know that we couold still survive without steel like long ago. Since we invented steel, our lives have become easier and we have become lazier, but steel is important. It helps us through typhoons and helps us build transportation vehicles such as cars, trains, airplanes, etc. If it wasn't for steel, I wouldn't even be typing this. There would be no gamestations, etc. I'm typing this while I'm watching it rain outside. We'd have to go in the rain and play games, and have very low-in-technology weapons for food and protection.

If I had the skill to combine elements, I would combine silver and gold to make a strong metal. If it was used in buildings, it would be shiny, and lots of people would stare at the buildings. It would also have to stand strong during natural disasters. That way, if there was a tsunami or typhoon, people would go in the building to protect themselves. The metal would have to be strong to survive acids made by evil scientists... if there are any.

Oh my goodness! If this world didn't have steel it would be awful! We wouldn't have mostly everything in this world. We wouldn't have protection and good buildings to get items from. Steel is like our medicine, we need for the most important things.

If i had the skills to combine elements. I would cmbine two metals to form a metal that would so distructive and the strongest in the world!!!!!

PS Why can't i combine elements????
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
happy spring break

Unknown said...

Wait mr.b in my first question there is a sentence, We would have everything thing in this world. i meant to say anything. Sorry

peace!

Unknown said...

Also mr.b, in my combine elements question its uses are it can blow up stuff and destroy and cause ultimate damage!!!!!!!!

bye

1. Steel is important to everone and for their needs. We need steel in order to live for a long time.

2. If i had the skill to combine elements, i would smith a metal that is even stronger than rune. This metal will be then sold to help others and i will sell it.

1. If we didn't have steel in this world than there wouldn't be a lot of other inventions. So if a typhoon came than there won't be any remains of buildings. With steel only a little of the building will be gone.

2. If I can mix elements I would mix all the metal elements together so if a tornado comes everything would stay the same.

Steel is very important to me and to the world. Traveling would be hard because cars and other vehicles wouldn't be invented without steel. The buildings would be damaged or even gone by a storm or any other disaster without steel.

If i had the skills to combine elements, I would make the strongest kind of metal that wouldn't break, but was easy to find. It wouldn't even budge if a typhoon or tsunami blew on it, so it would be great to use for buildings like hotels or houses.

1) Steel is extemly vital to me. The fact that almost every thing is made of steel would mean the world would be very primitive.

2) If I could make an alloy I would make one called zincthium. Its a mixture of zinc and linthium. It would be strong but light.

1.)Steel is very important to everyone because without steel,there would be no cars, no lights,no buildings,and the only things that would be left in the world is natural resources, and people would have to travel by feet everywhere,so thats why i think steel is very important to everyone.
2.)If I had the skill to combine elements, I would combine steel and silver to make a strong door for houses, but the outside of the medal door is covered with wood so it would look pretty,and it would be very safe for any houses to that if any disasters happen outside the house, it wouldn't affect the inside of the house.

Mr.B I went to Beijing, China for spring break and saw the bird's nest, (place where they had opening ceremony.) It was all mostly made of steel. So, if we didn't have steel we wouldn't have the national olympic park.

Unknown said...

1) It is hard for me to imagine a world without steel. Now that I think of it, steel is sort important to me. I need steel in order to have bridges for me to cross the water. Steel makes living possible for a whole lot of people, especially lazy people. Steel is needed to make great civilizations because most cities with large buildings are widely known and have a large amount of people.

2) If I could create an alloy, I would combine gold and platinum in order to make good jewelry. This would help people who would like valuable jewelry because gold gets dinged very easily and platinum would help strengthen the metal.

Hayley Ko said...

1) Let's just say life is nothing without steel. Steel is just like our bones which hold stuff up.

2) I would make a element named steroin. It would be mixed with sand, steel, and iron.

1.I think steel is very important because if we didn't have any steel the world would be very wasteful because steel is used to make spoons and forks usually tableware and if we didn't have steel we would use plastic and after using it we would throw it away and cars and warehouses wouldn't be supported
2.If I had that ability to combined elements I would combined a mixture called golden which is a mixture of gold and steel because gold is very strong and stiff and mixed with steel it would be very very strong for building a house and not get hot because gold keeps of heat!

1. A world without steel would be very limited and have almost no transportation vehicle and no way to get fossil fuels. Steel is important to me because it holds up almost everything. It holds up very tall buildings and makes them stay stiff so they would not fall down easily.

2.If I had the skill to combine elements I would combine Diamond and Steel together to make one of the most strongest types. I would name it Steemond. It could be used to make very strong bomb shelters for the veterans in war to help them be protected. This would also help for buildings specialized for strong hurricanes and other threats.

Matthew M. Ahh!!! there are some post I have deleted since possibly when I was in your room my account was still on and I didn't post those:

1.
Steeling is super important to me! Steel is like metal that helps so much. Steeling can do anything.
Houses are sometimes built by steel. A life with no steel...is like a world with no water to drink, swim, wash, and no place for sea creatures to live...

2.
If I had the skill of combining elements, I would combine two elements. I would combine metals, but not only metals...the metals that will never be found except me and I will make the metal that is the kind of metal that will never ever break. Even stronger than a diamond!!!

steel is also very important not only to me but the whole world! without the metal we wouldnt be able to make these wonderful helpful things in our life. with out buildings or shelter made from a strong metal like steel, juring dangerouse events example earthquakes or storms the shelter would fall apart leaving no place for people to live do work and survive! STEEL IS A BIG DEAL!!!

The skill for a 10 year old girl to combine elements would be pretty cool. i would make a bunch of metal scraps and donate it to help make helpful things like bottle caps or parts for ships, airplanes, or cars. me and my steel could be helpful for the whole wide world!

Unknown said...

1. Steel is important because it is strong.

2. If I had the skill, I would make cool stuff.

Unknown said...

Right now if we out all steel things from this world this whole world will break I really mean it buildings airplanes will crash down. Thats how important steel is.

If I had the skill I would make a lot of cool things like swings in my yard I would make a baseball bat!!!

1) Steel is important to me and has many uses. Some of its uses are for glasses frames (the one I put over my eyesa), cars, sewage pipes, buildings, and roller bags (they have steel handles).

2) If I had the skill to combine elements I would combine titanium and iron together to make very strong material that can replace steel. This mixture will be used for bikes, buildings, and other uses that steel has.

Unknown said...

i can imagine a world without steel
let me just say that a world without steel is not pretty.
steel lamps cars watches allkinds of stuff even desks and chairlegs
without steel jun would finally fall of his chair.


#2 well if i could mix metals or something i would try to make a stronger metal than steel.


P.S nice vid's i liked both of them

Unknown said...

steel is super important without it you couldn't make computers so ot os very important


I would make alutiliumn it is very strong metal it is aluminum and titanium mixed it is light but strong so people could use it for strong light weapons,buildings,and robots.

Unknown said...

soph1. I think steel is important because without it briges and cars couldn't take us to other places.If steel was not here in our lives, I think we would still live without it.

2.I would make a kind of steel that is strong and durable. I'll make this steel last long by not rusting. I would also make it so that everything strong against natural diasters.

Unknown said...

steel is important because it is in every mechanical object.

if i had skills to combine elements,i would mix some metals so that it would be stronger.
