Steel manufactured through electrical heating and melting processes, typically of higher quality and purity than traditionally produced steel.
From electro- + steel (from Old English stēl, from Proto-Germanic). Emerged in late 19th/early 20th century with electric furnace technology.
Electrosteel revolutionized manufacturing because electric furnaces could reach precise temperatures and control chemistry better than coal furnaces—this is why modern tools, machinery, and even medical implants use electrosteels that are far superior to old-fashioned steel.
