The production of steel has a long history, with early forms dating back thousands of years. Modern steelmaking processes are highly sophisticated, allowing for the creation of a vast array of steel types tailored for specific applications. These applications range from construction and manufacturing to transportation and everyday objects. The word terästi encapsulates the inherent qualities of this material, emphasizing its robustness and utility. When used to describe an object, it signifies that the object is constructed from this high-strength metal, suggesting durability and longevity.
