Iron is a metal and an element found on the Periodic Table.
Steel is a common name for many combinations of Iron, Carbon and other elements such as manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten. These other elements are added to control the hardness of the material and control many other characteristics of the metal overall, melting point, ductility, etc. Visit Industrial Interface below to help with other engineering design problems.
aren't they the same thing
No iron and steel are like common
It attracts the exact same thing as ordinary magnets do. Ex.: steel, iron, cobalt, and nickel
Yes. Steel is primarily iron with up to 2.1% carbon added, forming the iron alloy known as steel.
It's called an IRON INGOT.
No. Iron is a pure metallic element. Steel an alloy of iron iron with something else added, usually carbon, to give it more strength.
It reduces the cost of transporting Iron to a Steel manufacturing plant.
their both metals
Compounds of metals, steel and other materials that the alloy is known. It is pure iron.
The main difference between cast iron and mild steel is the carbon content. Mild steel has a lower carbon content than cast iron. This makes cast iron brittle, while mild steel is much harder.
According to my calculations, Carbon Steel was used thousands of years ago, because, if carbon steel swords were invented thousands of years ago then- heres a question: if carbon steel swords was invented back then, then what made carbon steel swords? the same thing we use to make carbon steel, which is mainly carbon and iron. The carbon, when mixed with molten iron, in fixed proportions, steel of varying strengths are formed. Steel is strong since the carbon atoms enter the metallic lattice of iron the difference in size of the carbon and iron atoms restrict movement of the layers (atoms) hence when a force is applied, the steel resists. by 11SHIFT
A steel shortsword because they both do the same damage but a steel shortsword is swung faster.
