∙ 13y agoSteel is harder than iron because it is infused with carbon to make it harder. So certain grades of iron that are not classed as steels can have a very high carbon content and are actually harder than steels.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes it is harder than pure iron but not all grades of iron. It is possible for iron with a high carbon content to be harder (but not tougher) than steel.
