Steel


Definition:

  • (n.) A variety of iron intermediate in composition and properties between wrought iron and cast iron (containing between one half of one per cent and one and a half per cent of carbon), and consisting of an alloy of iron with an iron carbide.

  • (n.) Fig.: To cause to resemble steel, as in smoothness, polish, or other qualities.
  • (n.) To cover, as an electrotype plate, with a thin layer of iron by electrolysis. The iron thus deposited is very hard, like steel.
