Right, you could. I'm sure there are other creative things you can do, too.

It all has to do with the amounts of carbon and other alloying materials added to the steel. The names are really a sideshow - have fun.

And even no-ten has resulted in significant products, such as bridges, battleships, and skyscraper skeletons - not to mention the first 50 years of cars and motorcycles. Cycling adopted better alloys early on.
