Steel is a kind of iron which can
easily be hammered out thin without
cracking and can be made extremely
hard by being heated and then cooled
quickly. 1t is different from ordinary
iron because of the amount OF carbon
in 1t. Wrought iron contains less car
bon than steel and so 1t can not be
made SO hard; cast iron contains more
and so is brittle.
