Alloyed steels have a larger proportion of elements in them than carbon
steel, such as manganese and silicon. Coated steel is steel coated through a
heat process or through electrolysis to protect its metal base against
corrosion. Flat-rolled steel is produced by rolls with smooth surfaces and different
ranges of dimension that vary in thickness. Clad steel is steel bonded with
dissimilar metals. See ArcelorMittal, A guide to the language of steel, http://corporate.arcelormittal.com/news-and-media/factfile/steel-terminology
