Steel plays a very significant role in the modern development of any industry. It is used for every structural purpose, from houses to machines, tools to roofing. In the construction industry, steel is the basis of design for skyscrapers and modern housing. Steel bars are also known as reinforcing or rebars.

Apart from the construction industry, steel bars are also used in the military industry (for equipment), paper industry, shipbuilding industry, and many other architectural-related industries.
