Detailed explanation-1: -The availability of cheap steel allowed larger bridges, railroads, skyscrapers, and ships. Other important steel products were steel cable, steel rod, and sheet steel, which enabled large, high-pressure boilers and high-tensile strength steel for machinery. Military equipment also improved significantly.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greenhouse gas emissions from steel production On average, 1.83 tons of CO2 is emitted for every ton of steel produced making steel production a major contributor to global warming adding over 3, 3 million tons annually to global emissions.
Detailed explanation-3: -The availability of cheaper iron and steel was fundamental in the growth of several industries. The development of machine tools made precision iron working possible. Other changes included improved roadways, waterways and railways. Raw materials and finished products could be moved more quickly and cheaper than ever.
Detailed explanation-4: -Switching to steel thus positively transformed the transport sector, due to their greater strength and durability and ability to handle the increasingly heavy and faster cars and engines. This led to the mushrooming of many other manufacturing activities dependent on steel and/or transportation.
