There are at least 4 types of steels that a Metalcrafter could deal with, if they knew how to make it. Steels are rare among the Smithcraft, though not unknown. And even then, only a handful of Masters would know how to create this, or at least be able to identify it. Yet steel must exist, because knives and swords, and the like would have to be made out of steel, instead of Iron. Iron would be too brittle, and it would break under such use. Here, are the 4 types of steels identified.

Mild Steel - Removing practically all the carbon from pig iron makes this, though not all of the carbon. There isn't enough carbon in it, however, to be able to harden it to any appreciable extent by heating it, and then putting it in water to cool it off quickly. It can be hammered and shaped to some extent without it being heated up, making it a softer metal.

Tool Steel - The same process that is used to take away all the carbon and impurities from the pig iron, is used here. But after that, there is added a known amount of carbon. Thus, it is more granular, rather than being fibrous or stringy as the other metals are. This type of steel cannot be heated above bright-red, or low-orange heat. If it is heated to this extent, it will honeycomb, and become weak, and brittle, and utterly useless to a metalcrafter. The more carbon that is added in determines how hard the steel may be tempered.

Soft-center steel -Putting a piece of mild steel and welding it between two layers of high-carbon steel creates this type of steel. The outside layers can be hardened, and the inside will still remain relatively soft, but still tough. This kind of steel may not be able to be created by the Metalcraft, depending on whether or not they have the ability to weld. If that can not be done, then the Metalcrafters can not create this type of steel.

Alloy Steel - This steel is the last one, and the one that is impossible to make. Since it is made by mixing small amounts of other metals such as tungsten, nickel, chromium, silicon, or vanadium, and mixed with steel. Some of these materials are not known to Metalcrafters. Silicon is the only one that can be told for sure whether or not it is known. Some may be able to be made. Alloy Steel that has nickel combined with steel will be able to be created, while steel with silicon cannot. Depending on the element, it gives steels different properties when mixed with it, such as great strength, resistance to corrosion, toughness, and resistance to shock, though those are in no particular order compared to the other elements that are mixed with steels.
