Iron and Steel
Iron is an incredibly useful substance. Its less brittle than stone yet, compared to wood or copper, extremely strong. If properly heated, iron is also relatively easy to shape into various forms, as well as refine, using simple tools. And speaking of those tools, unlike wood, iron can handle high temperatures, allowing us to build everything from fire tongs to furnaces out of it. In contrast to most substances, you can also magnetize iron, making it useful in the creation of electric motors and generators. Finally, there certainly arent any iron shortages to worry about. The Earths crust is 5 percent iron, and in some areas, the element concentrates in ores that contain as much as 70 percent iron.
When you compare iron and steel with something like aluminum , you can see why it was so important historically. To refine aluminum, you need access to huge quantities of electricity. Furthermore, to shape aluminum, you have to either cast it or extrude it. Iron, however, is much easier to manipulate. The element has been useful to people for thousands of years, while aluminum really didnt exist in any meaningful way until the 20th century.
