Steel belongs to the steel industry. Iron and steel industry is mainly engaged in ferrous metal mineral mining and ferrous metal smelting and processing, including iron, chromium, manganese and other mineral mining and processing industries, ironmaking industry, steel processing industry, ferroalloy smelting industry, steel wire and its products industry, which is one of the important raw material industries in China.

Steel:

Iron and steel products are the general name of metal products based on iron (Fe), and their daily forms include iron, crude steel, steel and ferroalloy. Because ferroalloy is mainly used as deoxidizer and alloy additive for steelmaking in the production process of iron and steel industry, ferroalloy is usually listed as the main raw material for iron and steel production rather than steel products in management and statistics. In addition, steel wire, wire rope, stranded wire, iron wire, nails and other steel wires and their products belong to the reprocessed products of steel products, not metal-based products. So statistically speaking, steel products only include pig iron, crude steel and steel products. Iron is the primary product of steel products, and steel can be obtained after further smelting. The two are mainly distinguished according to the carbon content in iron-based products.
