Is steel a pure substance or mixture is it an element or compound?

Steel is not an element, but is a mixture we call an alloy. It is mostly iron with a bit of carbon in it; these are the primary ingredients.

The carbon is in it at about one percent (ball park), while if we add something over about 11% chromium, we'll get stainless steel.
