Abstract
Steel is and remains material number 1. This was not foreseeable at the beginning of the Iron Age more than 3000 years ago. After such a long, eventful time of steel production and application, one would actually assume today that the “forgeable iron” in terms of composition and properties would be well researched. Mistake! The material steel is not yet exhausted. Every year, around 200 steels are improved according to customer requirements and around 50 new ones are invented.
