'''Steel''' (the metal formerly known as '''refined iron''') is a metal resource added by IC². It is ''not'' generated as ore, but must be created from [[Iron]] in a {{Gin|Blast Furnace}}.

== Forms ==
As steel has no ore, it does not go through [[ore processing]]; steel ingots are produced in a {{Gin|Blast Furnace}} from iron (in some form) plus 6000 mB of Air, obtained by placing {{Gin|Universal Fluid Cell}}s in a {{Gin|Compressor}}.

Steel also has no dust form; if [[Macerator|macerated]] in ingot or dense plate form, it will return {{Gin|Iron Dust}}.

(Note that the blast furnace UI below is outdated.)

|Output2=Slag}}

|Output=Iron Dust;Iron Dust,8}}

These forms of steel are seen during [[metal shaping]]:
* {{Gin|Steel Ingot}}
* {{Gin|Steel Block}}
* {{Gin|Steel Plate}}
* {{Gin|Dense Steel Plate}}
* {{Gin|Steel Item Casing}}
* {{Gin|Shaft (Steel)}}

== Uses ==
Steel in plate form is used in crafting {{Gin|Advanced Machine Casing}}s for making the more complex machinery of IC².

It is also used to make:
* subcomponents for the steel and carbon rotors {{Gin|Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Steel)|}} {{Gin|Kinetic Gearbox Rotor (Carbon)|}} used in the {{Gin|Kinetic Wind Generator}}
* steel and diamond blades {{Gin|Block Cutting Blade (Steel)|}} {{Gin|Block Cutting Blade (Diamond)|}} for the {{Gin|Block Cutting Machine}}
* {{Gin|Steam Turbine Blade}}
* {{Gin|Kinetic Steam Generator}}

== HAYO ==

Now some further instructions for those customers, who bought the slightly less expensive versions of this products-row in crafting blueprints form.

I would still recommend that you BUY all [[machine]]s instead, but if you really want to, you may craft them as well.

First of all, you need the basic resource for all kind of advanced machines:

It's secret knowledge revealed to you now, but you can actually '''smelt* iron ingots to even better iron ingots'''. Isn't that great?

''*Except the fact it now takes a seperate machine, 5 minutes PER INGOT, 6 air cells and a completely seperate generator. Hmm. Really makes you think.''

'''They look better AND for sure are much more useful!'''
