alloy steel
Enhanced iron blend
Alloy steel is steel mixed with other elements—chromium, nickel, manganese, vanadium, tungsten—to enhance specific properties like strength, hardness, or corrosion resistance.
Different alloys serve different purposes: stainless steel resists rust, tool steel holds a sharp edge, high-strength low-alloy steel balances durability with weight.
The bridge was built with alloy steel to withstand harsh weather.
