Steel plants observe the decreasing carbon content during the whole steel production process from raw iron with up to 4-5% carbon to a few ppm in stainless steel. The carbon content influences not only the texture, but also the material properties of iron, such as magnetism, hardness or elasticity. For example, cast iron (2-4% C) is brittle but castable; tool steel (0.4-1.7% C) is elastic and ductile, and carbon steel (<0.4% C) is forgeable and usable for sheets, tubes and steel girders.
