                                                     Today, steel is produced by melting down scrap metal. Oxygen is introduced to the molten metal                                Corossion resistant.
                                                     which will adjust its carbon content to between 2% and 4%. This molten liquid is poured into                                  High tensile strength.
                                                     moulds and allowed to cool. Once cool, steel billets are released from the mould and cut down                                 very durable.
                                                     to size. These billets need to be flattened down to remove impurities from the surface and                                    attractive apperance.
                                                     makes them into the correct industry sizes. To give this steel a brushed look, the surface is                                 Recyclable.
                                                     washed with an acid to remove any residual scale and impurities. Fine sand paper is then used
                                                     on a grinding wheel to apply a brushed pattern in one direction on the materials face.                                                                           eagletube.com
