    Steel is a hardened alloy of both iron and carbon which have high tensile strengths. Because of this characteristic, it is widely used in construction and other applications. The quality of steel has been refined over years and this has intensified its use. The improvement in technology has led to high strength hull steel. Better production techniques that has reduced the production costs.

    Its production however involves the use of other material for various purposes. For instance, it requires the use of both nickel and manganese in adding tensile strength. To make it harder and to increase melting temperature, chromium is used. This chromium also prevents it from collusion. Damages that can result from loading and offloading can be reduced by the use of vanadium. And it is also used for hardening. What determines the density of steel are the constituents of the alloy.

    Its strength makes it best for reinforcement in the construction of roads railways, building and other appliances. Hauling of bulky goods through a railways means that rails are made of materials that can support the heavy weight and this metal is commonly used. Nowadays vehicles made of these materials are known to last longer. The possibility of recycling it makes it the best material to use since the demerits caused by non-recyclable materials is avoided.

    The material is preferred in making of ships as it is safe for cruising and passage making. Its however susceptible to rusting. The maintenance of equipment made from this material is easier as it only involves waxing and painting. Apparently the maintenance is cut down due to its modern coating. Therefore it can be considered cost effective. Likeliness of damage occurring is minimized.

    The various loads the ships are subjected to have created the idea of using both high quality and strong materials. It has possesses these characteristics. The use of this material reduces the chances of damage occurring and also prevents it from sinking. The heavy weight enables the overcoming of the water pressure and therefore ensuring fast movement. Operational costs are minimized with fast deliveries being achieved.

    Climatic conditions experienced in different places have contributed to the high demand for this material in ship making. In the winter when high storms are experienced, sinking of ships made of in appropriate materials have been observed. The materials are unable to withstand the strength of the storms and ends up cracking. Talented designers should be involved if one wants to make the right choice of structure designs.

    There are many numbers of these metal producing companies. Some produce high quality products while the qualities of others are low. High quality steel is always very expensive. Due to competition however, the most common will be the low quality since most people will always prefer products that are cheaper. Sometimes its however difficult to make a choice of the best quality ones.

    The purpose of which this material is targeted to meet should be considered when making the quality choice regardless of the price. Enough capital should be set aside for the investment. This will prevent chances of opting for the low quality.
