When combined with carbon what element makes steel?

Iron is the element that, when combined with carbon, makes steel. Carbon content in steel can range from 0.2% to 2.1%, influencing the properties of the resulting steel alloy.


Is steel a non-element or a element?

A non element. Steel is formed from Iron and carbon.


What does steel make?

Melted iron combined with carbon creates steel.


Which best describes stainless steel mixture or element or ore or mineral?

Stainless steel is an alloy, not a pure element or mineral. It is primarily made of iron, chromium, and other elements like nickel and manganese. These components are combined in specific proportions to create a material that is resistant to corrosion and staining.


What is the main strengthening element in steel?

Carbon is the main hardening element in steel. However, increasing the hardness decreases the ductility. Strength in this case is relative.

Is carbon steel an element'?

No, steel is a combination of Carbon and Iron. When referring to steel as "carbon steel" usually means the particular sample contains more carbon. This makes the steel harder but less flexible making it more liable to fracture.


Is steel an element of iron?

No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel. Certainly other elements can be added for different reasons, like chromium for the production of stainless steel. But it is iron and carbon that make steel.


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.
