# Steel Ingot

The Steel Ingot is a crafted mid-tier material sitting between Iron and Diamond in most stats. Unlike other materials in this mod, Steel has no ore — it must be manufactured from Iron.

<PrefabObtaining />

## Obtaining

Steel is produced through a two-step crafting process:

1. Combine one **Iron Nugget** with any **Coal or Charcoal** (shapeless) to create [](@firesreflamed:carbonized_iron).
2. Smelt the Carbonized Iron in a furnace or blast furnace to obtain a Steel Ingot.

| Input | Output | XP | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbonized Iron | Steel Ingot | 0.7 | 100 ticks (furnace), 50 ticks (blast furnace) |

You can also compact 9 Steel Ingots into a [](@firesreflamed:block_of_steel), or combine 9 [](@firesreflamed:steel_nugget)s into one ingot.

<Callout variant="info">Steel Ingots can be found as early loot inside the [](@firesreflamed:snow_brick_igloo) structure, giving you access to Steel before you've set up a smelting chain.</Callout>
