Is mild steel a pure metal or an alloy?
Yes its an alloy ! Because steel itself is an alloy of IRON and CARBON and based on the content of carbon it is classified as mild steel , low carbon steel etc;
Is steel a useful alloy of copper and tin?
steel is an alloy of iron and about 0.1%-0.3% carbon. bronze is an alloy of copper+ tin....( not steel)
Is CO2 an alloy?
Carbon dioxide is an inorganic gas.
What is Difference of plain carbon and alloy steels?
First this is wrong type of question, meaning that there is no such animal as non-alloy steel, just by the simplest definition of steel 'is an alloy of iron and carbon'.A more complex definition takes into account other elements which are added to steel such as Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Manganese (Mn) etc are just a few which are added to give certain properties after mechanical working and heat-treatment.
Is mild steel a alloy or ferrous or non ferrous?
It's an alloy containing mainly carbon. It's ferrous.

What is the alloy of steel?
The alloy of steel is carbon and iron.
What do low alloy and high alloy steels contain?
carbon
What is an alloy with carbon?
steel
What is the carbon concentration of an iron-carbon alloy for which the fraction of total ferrite is 0.94?
The carbon concentration of an iron-carbon alloy for which the fraction of total ferrite is 0.94 is 0.06. Since the fraction of ferrite in the alloy is 94/100, the fraction of carbon must be 6/100 to make a total of 100/100.
What is the answer if the iron and carbon will be add?
If you want to add carbon to an iron alloy all you need to do is melt the iron in the presence of carbon. The carbon will be absorbed and alloy automatically. Carbon can also be added to a thin layer of the surface of a piece of solid iron alloy without melting simply by heating the iron red hot and covering it with carbon for a period of time.
