Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tool Steels, Data and Tables Appertaining to Electric Tool Steels Steel is a complex mixture of iron with other ingredients. Some of these ingredients are impurities, the kinds and amounts of which depend on process of manufacture and raw materials used. Other ingredients impart useful properties to metal and are added to or allowed to remain in the steel to produce or intensify these properties. The aim of the steel maker is to reduce the proportion of impurities to the minimum and to add to the iron just that percentage of useful ingredients which will give, those chemical and physical properties most suitable for the uses to which the particular grade of steel is to be put.
