Steel is an alloy made of iron triad
Steel is a metal alloy consisting of iron and carbon and is currently produced in commercial quantities through a process called basic oxygen steelmaking. The carbon content of steels usually varies between about 0.2% and a little over 2%. You've probably guessed that varying the carbon content varies the characteristics of the alloy produced. A number of other metals might be added in small quantities to vary the composition and, therefore, the characteristics of the steel. We can illustrate this by citing the example of stainless steel, which has some chromium alloyed into the steel. As you might have guessed, there is a range of alloys here, too, and they have a chromium content that varies between 13% and 26%. The selection of carbon and, when needed, some other metals to create the metal alloy we call steel is made on the basis of the mechanical properties that we see in the finished alloy. The characteristics of iron alloys vary as what it is we alloy into the iron. Selecting carbon creates a metal alloy that is strong and tough, and we haven't found many alloys that can produce a better alloy. It is used for use in building structures and a thousand and one other things we encounter in our daily lives. That's why we choose carbon to make the alloy we call steel.
Yes. Steel is an alloy of iron and, most often, carbon.
Pure iron has no carbon in it, carbon hardens iron by adjusting the crystalline structure of the iron from a straight grain to an interrupted lattice structure.
Steel has 0.2% to about 2% carbon content.
Stainless steels have other elements such as magnesium, nickel and chromium among many others to give a particular steel alloy a desired trait.
Wrought iron has much less carbon (~0.08%) than steel.
Plain carbon-iron alloys with a higher than 2.1% carbon content are known as "cast iron".
Gray (malleable) cast iron has around 2.5-4.0% carbon (more than steel), 1-3% silicon, and the remainder iron
White cast iron has more carbon than steel (~3.4%) is not malleable (it cracks before deforming) and is very hard and only workable by casting.
Steel Is mainly made out of iron and about 1% carbon, but there can be more or less. the more carbon, the harder and more brittle, and the less, the softer and it is easier to shape. You can add chromium to the compound to make stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion. Iron from the blast furnace is around 96% pure, and has lots of carbon, and is very brittle and therefore is purified. :)
Mainly iron ore, some carbon and often fractions of other metals to form a steel alloy.
Stuff like pans, radiators and sometimes rulers...
Iron is the primary element in steel. Carbon is the other primary element. Trace elements can be added dependant upon the characteristics desired.
Iron and alloying elements as: vanadium, nickel, chromium, carbon, silicon, manganese etc.
alloy and sulpher
Steel is made up mainly of Iron with a low content (0.2 to 2%) of carbon depending on the grade of steel.
first ones were made up of bone or wood but now there made up of high carbon steel metal
steel
No.........paper clips are made up of steel wire or plastic.
Garden tools and springs
your average steel is made of steel
it can be made up of steel, plastic, and pottery.
steel
No, its not correct; steel is an iron alloy.
A lot of kitchens are made up of stainless steel as it is a really easy metal to clean and wipe down.
the harbour bridge is made up of steel and approximately 6.5 million rivets
It is made up of iron
Composite toe shoes are made up of composite materials, such as plastic and carbon fiber. A steel toe shoe is made up of only steel.
the car is made up of aluminum steel etc
Steel is made partially out of Iron, and no, they are not weak unless you stick'em up your anus
to make it strong
Steel is made up mainly of Iron with a low content (0.2 to 2%) of carbon depending on the grade of steel.
