I have a setp that I am redoing. When I finish I want one of those
metal edge protectors on it. They appear to be imbedded as oposed to
atached later (edges are flush with the concrete). Exctly how does one
do that? And is it just a regular angled piece of (aluminum or
stainless steel)?

It's supposed to have grooves in it to make it less slippery. The grooves
sometimes don't work, especially when the steps are wet or icy, so they
create a false sense of safety. You might want to reconsider the idea.

I'm referring to something that's not very deep though, like 1.5-2
inches. I thought they were there to hold up the concrete in high
traffic areas, and have nothing to do with slippage.

I don't know what their purpose is, but I've seen the end results.

Corner re-enforcement. Otherwise you need a radiused edge to
keep it from chipping off, and that's even worse.
