copper aluminium iron and steel is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat is one of the properties of copper aluminium iron and steel and it is used in conducting electricity.
The magnetic properties of iron are high susceptibility and low retentivity. It means that it is easier to magnetize but also loses magnetism easily. The properties of steel are the opposite of iron.
The iron (Fe)
Cast iron is more brittle then mild steel
I don't think anybody wants to change steel to iron. However, changing iron to steel is done a lot because steels (of which there are many variants) have properties superior to iron. For example, manganese steel is what railway lines are made of and they are tough and not brittle, ideal for this purpose. Mild steel, which is very commonly used for 'iron' objects has some carbon in it which gives it good properties for everyday use. Stainless steel has chromium in it which gives it anti-rust properties.
Iron is mainly extracted from haematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite(Fe3O4).
Yes
the various alloys have properties that are better for certain applications than pure iron. Carbide Steel is stronger than Iron Stainless Steel doesn't rust as quickly as Iron.

Steel is an alloy; alloying components improve the properties of steel.
Steel is different from cast iron because cast iron is when some of the molten iron is left to solidify in moulds. And then most of the iron is kept molten to be turned into steel. But steel is made by removing move of the impurities from the iron and then mixing other elements to change the properties.
