Smith's Bible Dictionary
Steel

In all cases were the word "steel" occurs in the Authorized Version the true rendering of the Hebrew is "copper." Whether the ancient Hebrews were acquainted with steel is not perfectly certain. It has been inferred from a passage in (Jeremiah 15:12) that the "iron from the north" there spoken of denoted a superior kind of metal, hardened in an unusual manner, like the steel obtained from the Chalybes of the Pontus, the iron smiths of the ancient world. The hardening of iron for cutting instruments was practiced in Pontus, Lydia and Laconia. There is, however, a word in hebrew, paldah , which occurs only in (Nahum 2:3) (4) and is there rendered "torches," but which most probably denotes steel or hardened iron, and refers to the flashing scythes of the Assyrian chariots. Steel appears to have been known to the Egyptians. The steel weapons in the tomb of Rameses III., says Wilkinson, are painted blue, the bronze red.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
STEEL

stel: the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes "brass" for "steel" in 2 Samuel 22:35 Job 20:24 Psalm 18:34 Jeremiah 15:12, and "steel" for "torches" in Nahum 2:3.

See BRASS.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
The "bow of steel" in (A.V.) 2 Samuel 22:35; Job 20:24; Psalm 18:34 is in the Revised Version "bow of brass" (Hebrews kesheth-nehushah). In Jeremiah 15:12 the same word is used, and is also rendered in the Revised Version "brass." But more correctly it is copper (q.v.), as brass in the ordinary sense of the word (an alloy of copper and zinc) was not known to the ancients.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (n.) A variety of iron intermediate in composition and properties between wrought iron and cast iron (containing between one half of one per cent and one and a half per cent of carbon), and consisting of an alloy of iron with an iron carbide. Steel, unlike wrought iron, can be tempered, and retains magnetism. Its malleability decreases, and fusibility increases, with an increase in carbon.

2. (n.) An instrument or implement made of steel

3. (n.) A weapon, as a sword, dagger, etc.

4. (n.) An instrument of steel (usually a round rod) for sharpening knives.

5. (n.) A piece of steel for striking sparks from flint.

6. (n.) Fig.: Anything of extreme hardness; that which is characterized by sternness or rigor.

7. (n.) A chalybeate medicine.

8. (n.) To overlay, point, or edge with steel; as, to steel a razor; to steel an ax.

9. (n.) To make hard or strong; hence, to make insensible or obdurate.

10. (n.) Fig.: To cause to resemble steel, as in smoothness, polish, or other qualities.

11. (n.) To cover, as an electrotype plate, with a thin layer of iron by electrolysis. The iron thus deposited is very hard, like steel.
