What is the difference between iron and metal?

The term "metal" refers to a large group of chemical elements, generally ranging from gray to silver to gold in color, that share common characteristics such a malleability and electrical conductivity. Iron is one such chemical element. Mixtures of metals, with other chemical additions are called "alloys." Some examples: * Iron alloyed with carbon is steel * Iron alloyed with chrome and/or nickel is stainless steel * Copper alloyed with tin is bronze * Copper alloyed with zinc is brass * Tin alloyed with copper and antimony is pewter

Effects of carbon on the mechanical properties of iron alloy?

iron by itself is a very weak metal and it does not find any good use in the industrial applications. when carbon is added to iron as a solid solution it adds strength to it. this gives us the steel alloy. if you refer the iron-iron carbide equilibrium diagram then you will find it amazing how iron and carbon can exhibit different crystal structure this leads to the formation of a lot of variety of steel. steels can be heat treated from being very soft to being very hard and the opposite can be done as well. very tough steels can be made, very ductile steels can be made , very hard steels can be made , etc etc etc etc.,


Is iron a element or metal?

Iron is an element. Metal referred to as Iron is often not pure iron, but rather an alloy or mixture. There are cases where the iron will contain some compounds of iron with other elements, but in general, it will just be iron alloyed with something else or iron with small amounts of other compounds distributed throughout.
