"Steel" is a mixture because it does not designate a constant composition: There are many kinds of steel with varying composition. Also, even if one considers only a kind of steel with a specified composition, its physical properties at apparent equilibrium under specific conditions of temperature and pressure can vary, dependent on heat treatment and other history. A proper compound does not behave this way.

∙ 12y agoThe answer to this question depends on what kind of steel is considered. Stainless steel with high nickel and chromium content is probably an alloy and therefore a mixture, but most other kinds of steel contain inclusions, often of carbon, that make these steels mixtures. (Carbon, contrary to an earlier answer this question, is not a metal.)

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, so it is forming a solid-solid homogeneous mixture. Due to this solid structure, steel tends to be used in wider aspects.
Bhavya Steel is the largest importer and manufacturer of Stainless Steel sheets, coils, and Plates.

Is steel an element compound pure substance or mixture?
Steel is an alloy- which is a compound, or intermixture. So it is not an element or pure substance.
Is steel an element or a compound?
It is neither an element not a compound. Steel is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of a metal and another element. In the case of steel, it is principally iron (an element), with about 0.2% to 2,0% carbon ( an element), mixed in. Other elements can be mixed in , e.g. chromium to form Stainless Steel, or Tungsten to form hard wearing steel.
Is an element and a compound heterogeneous?
Is wood a compound homogeneous mixture a heterogenous mixture or an element. Is steel a homogeneous mixture a heterogeneous mixture an element.
What is steel element or compound?
Steel consists of iron, mixed with carbon and smaller amounts of other elements.

What element is in the major compound of steel?
Iron is the major element in steel. Only an element can be an element, and an element can not be a compound, the definition of which requires more than one element.
Is steel an element compound pure substance or mixture?
Steel is an alloy- which is a compound, or intermixture. So it is not an element or pure substance.
