∙ 13y agoSteel is made mostly of iron, but also contains other elements such as carbon so it is stronger than iron. By combining metals in what is called an alloy (a mixture of metals), the properties of the mixture is superior to the properties of the individual components.

The difference between iron and steel why is steel better than iron for most uses?
Steel is an alloy if iron, consisting mainly of iron. Steel is both stronger and lighter than iron so is more efficient to use in buildings and other structures.
How is steel an improvement over iron?
Steel is clean an has less impurities than iron, steel also has high alloys in it like chrome, vanadium an Molly to make stronger, take a hammer an hit a peace of steal then take that hammer an hit a peace of iron, the iron will dent.It is lighter and stronger.
What is pearlite?
Pearlite is a layered steel product made from ferrite (iron) and cementite (iron carbide). Pearlite is stronger and lighter than regular steel, but is more prone to cracking.
What metal is stronger stainless steel or metal?
Stainless steel or WHICH metal? BTW, there are numerous grades of stainless steel. Some are stronger than others.
Is steel better than iron?
It depends on what you want to use it for. On the Moh's scale, steel is somewhere between 4 and 4.5, whereas iron is between 6 and 7. In swords, both iron and steel kinds have appeared, but steel is slightly better than iron due to its strength-to-weight ratio and its flexibility. Keep in mind, steel--unlike iron--is made of different metals to improve its strength. For piping, steel would be better (but not the first choice among other materials to use). Steel is also more resistant to rust, than iron, and the weldability of steel is better than iron.
Why was steel more important than iron?
because steel was stronger than iron
Explain why iron was replaced by steel in ship construction?
Steel is stronger and more flexible than iron.
Why do you use steel in the place of iron?
Steel is refined iron. It's usually stronger (=better) than steel for most uses.

Why was steel perfreable to iron?
Steel is stronger
Why is it that steel is made up with alloy?
the various alloys have properties that are better for certain applications than pure iron. Carbide Steel is stronger than Iron Stainless Steel doesn't rust as quickly as Iron.
What is stronger for a roller coaster iron or steel?
steel
Iron and carbon combine to make what?
Wrought iron- less than 0.25% C Steel- 0.2%-2% of C

Why is steel stronger thsn iron?
Steel, is an alloy of different metals. Mostly iron, though.
