An Allomancer burning steel can Push bits of metal away from their "center of self,"{{wob ref|13373}} and can also use steel to sense the presence of metal nearby. Steelpushing is not dependent on magnetic forces or Allomatic power--most metals (with the exception of [[aluminum]] and some of its alloys) can be Pushed. Feruchemists can use steel to store physical speed, and when used as a hemalurgic spike, steel steals Physical Allomantic powers.▼

When burning steel, blue lines emerge from the Coinshot and connect themselves to pieces of nearby metal, with the size of the steel line indicating how big the metal is. The steel lines can typically only be seen by the Coinshot.{{book ref|mb1|7}} The steel lines manifest themselves on the [[Spiritual Realm]] and can be cut or interfered with
Steelpushing is commonly considered a flashy ability. It allows the user to fly through the air in quite spectacular ways, using only coins (or other small metal objects) placed on the ground. This functions through essentially attempting to push the planet itself, which, as an object far more massive than one's self, causes one to be pushed away.{{book ref|mb1|7}} It can be used offensively, as the name suggests, to shoot metal objects as projectiles. As the coins are much smaller than the Coinshot, they gain quite a bit of speed over time. Steelpushing can also be used defensively, by creating a bubble around the user to deflect incoming metal objects, although in case of very fast objects (such as bullets) it doesn't provide full protection.{{book ref|mb4|prologue}} Steelpushing liquid metals works similarly to a ferrofluid.{{wob ref|12598}}
Steel Allomancy is strongly resisted by the body of sophonts, thus making metalminds embedded into the body difficult to push. Due to this, some Feruchemists choose to surgically implant their metalminds into their body.{{book ref|mb7|25}}{{book ref|mb1|38}}{{book ref|mb4|11}} However, a strong enough Steelpush, such as one powered by the [[Mists]], is able to overcome this resistance.{{book ref|mb7|25}}{{book ref|mb1|38}} The degree of resistance is proportional to how Invested the target is, and would therefore require more force to push metal in the body of someone such as [[Susebron]] and an average Scadrian, who would be harder than a Drab.{{wob ref|7299}}{{wob ref|7299}}
It is also possible for a skilled Allomancer to push on a specific part of a metal object.{{wob ref|10845}} They could also have better control over their Pushes, such as creating a steel bubble that deflects projectiles while not affecting the metal on the user.{{book ref|mb5|8}} Through unknown means, a Coinshot could push on non-metal objects.{{wob ref|15142}} It is possible to effect the polarity of [[
=== Synergy with Iron Feruchemy ===
The Law of Conservation of Momentum holds when using iron Feruchemy. Therefore, a Coinshot who has access to iron Feruchemy can alter their mass in order to increase or decrease their velocity. When one increases their mass, their velocity would decrease in order to equalize their momentum, and vice versa.{{book ref|mb7|25}}{{book ref|mb6|12}}{{wob ref|6595}} When drag is put into the equation this creates, one gets an equation with explicit maxima; more simply, when one decreases their mass too much, the force of drag overcomes the increase in velocity via Conservation of Momentum, and therefore causes one to decrease in velocity; this also means there is a specific amount of stored mass where one's velocity hits its maximum.{{book ref|mb7|25}} When taking into account momentum and drag formulae, this should have two zeroes–that is to say, when one stores or draws upon too much mass, it would lead to their velocity falling to zero.
Steelpushing can also be used alongside iron Feruchemy in order to take advantage of Steelpushing's proportionality to the mass of the user, allowing them to increase the strength of their Steelpushes by increasing mass, or allow them to more easily push themselves away from an object by decreasing their mass.{{
Twinborn with steel Allomancy and iron Feruchemy are known as '''Crashers'''. Only three known Crashers exist in recorded history, and [[Waxillium Ladrian]] is one of these three.{{book ref|mb6|12}}

During the space age of the [[cosmere]] Scadrian research spaceships have an [[Awakening|Awakened]] steelmind.{{book ref|tsm|45}} The steelmind is capable of giving status reports.
