Abstract
No substantial changes will take place in the position of steel as the important structural and functional material because of its abundant resources, comparatively low cost, excellent material characteristics, and ease of processing and recycling. Steel is still the “material of choice” and it is the recycling material. It is an important basic material in the processes of social civilization and economic development.
