Iron is considerd to be an alloy steel. This is because an alloy steel is when carbon is the primary alloying element. However, wire of iron is considerd to be a non alloy.

What is the difference between alloy and non-alloy steel?

If you stir a tiny bit of carbon (between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight) with molten iron, it turns the iron into "steel." When that cools down, it is MUCH stronger than iron (but you cannot hammer or draw steel into small wires because steel is much less ductile than iron). Some people call that "non-alloy" steel ... albeit, technically speaking, the tiny bit of carbon added to iron (just to make steel) creates an "iron alloy" (i.e., a few non-iron atoms mixed with a lot of iron atoms). But "alloy-steel" usually refers to steel that has some manganese, chromium, vanadium, and/or tungsten atoms mixed in, too. Sort of like the difference between white, chocolate, vanilla, and banana-strawberry-mango cakes. They're all cakes, but a little change in a few ingredients can make very noticeable changes in the results ... any questions?
