Did You Know?

Steel is used to make cars and bridges!

How It Works

Heat iron and add carbon to it.

Why It Matters

It helps make strong tools and parts.

What cementation process Does

It makes iron strong and tough.

It was used a long time ago.

People used it for tools and weapons.

Now, we use new ways to make steel.

It helped us learn about metal.

Old furnaces still stand today.

More About cementation process

Long ago, people found ways to make iron better. They learned to heat iron and mix it with carbon. This made the iron much stronger. The cementation process was one of these ways.

Today, we use steel for many things. Cars, bikes, and buildings all use steel. The cementation process helped us make strong metal for tools and parts.

Even though we have new ways now, the old method taught us a lot. It shows how people used to work with metal. Some old furnaces are still here for us to see!
