Iron is mixed with various other metals and non-metals according to the requirements for that particular alloy. To make a steel bicycle frame tube for example, you would probably add carbon and molybdenum.

How is stainless steel made from iron ore?
The iron ore is refined into iron, The molten iron is then alloyed (mixed) with other molten metals, commonly chromium and nickel, along with carbon. There are different mixes to produce stainless steel with different properties. It is not truly stainless, but is stain RESISTANT and rust RESISTANT.
Is stainless steel natural or man made?
Man made. It starts with iron and air is shot through the molten iron to remove the impurities. After that is done steel is what is left. A man by the name of Bessemer in the early 1900's came up with this method.
You can use zinc to stop things rusting how do you do that?
Galvanising is the act of coating a metal (iron or steel) in a thin layer of zinc. The metal is dipped in molten zinc.
Why are different steels needed in molten iron?
Constructional Structural steelwork Mechanical engineering Automotive Domestic appliances Shipyards Tubes Metalware these are the various categories in which the steel is sold in market or are the market forms of steel.
What is the word for melted iron?
molten
How is steel prevented from melting with the heat of the molten iron?
FHDH
Why do you melt iron to make steel?
Steel is iron with added carbon and other materials. For other materials to mix chemically with the iron, it has to be liquid. Melting iron changes it to liquid.

Which mineral resource is used for the production of steel?
Iron ore. Bessemer figured out that shooting air into the molten iron would remove the impurities and that made steel.
What was the Bessemer steel converter?
The Bessemer steel converter is a large container in which molten iron is converted into steel. The Bessemer steel converter was invented by Henry Bessemer in 1856.
What did William Kelly and Henry Bessemer invent?
they invented the first inexpensive industrial process for the mass-production of steel from molten pig iron. The process is named after its inventors, who took out a patent on the process in 1855. The key principle is removal of impurities from the iron by oxidation with air being blown through the molten iron. The oxidation also raises the temperature of the iron mass and keeps it molten.
Who developed a procedure to produce steel cheaply and easily?
It is called the Bessemer process. Iron has particles in it and air is blown into the molten iron to get rid of the impurities in the iron. It becomes steel.
What metal did Henry Bessemer invent a cheaper way to make?
Steel. He figured out that if air was blown into the molten iron it would remove the particles that were impurities in the iron. This made steel.
How is cast iron different from 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.
What did Henry Bessemer add to iron to make steel.?
By blowing air through the molten pig iron. By adding oxygen to the iron it removed impurities which escape as gas or form a solid slag
Is partially molten iron a pure substance or a mixture?
Molten Iron is not a mixture because it is still iron. Melting is a physical change meaning that the chemical makeup of the iron is not changed. Its still the element iron.
What is 24 gauge galvanized iron sheet?
1"squre steel tube 6 metre
