When combined with carbon what element makes steel?
Iron Fe
Steel is formed when a little bit of carbon is added to this element.?
Iron (Fe) is the main component of steel. Steel is formed when iron is mixed with carbon or other elements.
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.
Why is carbon a nonmetal element added to iron to make nails?
A SMALL amount of carbon added to iron changes the crystal structure of iron into steel.
What element forms steel when a little bit of Carbon is added to it?
Carbon and iron together make steel so the answer yo uare looking for is iron - Fe
What is added to iron to make steel and give different proportions?
The main ingredient is carbon. Carbon is what makes iron into steel. Other chemicals are added, like chromium, which makes stainless steel. Different amounts of carbon can change the properties. Adding a lot of carbon makes high-carbon steel, which is hard and flexible, used to make knife blades and (lower quality) springs. Adding molybdenum (and chrome, I think) makes chromoly steel, very flexible and strong steel often used in the racing industry.The element chromium, itself another metal, is added to steel (which is iron with a bit of carbon) to make stainless steel alloys.Also added: vanadium, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, wolfram, etc.Chromium and nickel are added to the iron to make stainless steel.it will be process in heating room
When combined with carbon what element makes steel?

What is the main constituent metal in mild steel?
The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel. The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel.
What is the difference between mild iron and mild steel?
Iron is the pure element, mild steel, or any steel is iron with a little bit of carbon added. The iron becomes mild steel, steel or any other type of steel depending on how much carbon is added to the iron.

Why is stainless steel so important?
An alloy is when there are more than one elemnet present. So pure iron is not an alloy. If carbon is added to the iron that makes steel. If Chromium and Nickel are added that makes a grade of Austenitic Stainless steel which is thus an alloy not an element.
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.
