What happened to our steel industry?

For the most part, steel was superseded in many applications by superior materials -- concrete, aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, etc.

For example, most auto bodies used to be 100% steel. Now, I'd be surprised if they're 25% steel.

I’d bet serious money that more than 50% are steel.
