Steek is made from iron. It is an alloy of iron and carbon .

Depending om the nature of steel,l soft, steel, hard steel, forged steel, razor strip.=, depends on the percentage of carbon present.

However the the percentage of carbon only ranges from about 0.1% to about 2%.

Other metals can also be alloyed (mixed) with steel to give it different characteristics, e.g. Stainless Steel, An alloy of Iron, carbon , Nickel manganese and chromium.

NB Iron is made from a specific type of rock , named 'iron ore'. The ore is reduced in the Blast Furnace to make iron.
