Steel is itself an alloy of Iron and Carbon.
Steel however has various other alloys which may contain manganese, chromium, nickel, tungsten, vanadium, molybdenum, aluminum, bismuth, sulfur, lead and etc... those are the only ones that came to mind

Is steel crowbar a alloy?
Yes, steel is an alloy made out of mostly Iron and Nickel and if I'm not mistaken a steel crowbar is made out of steel.
Is steel alloy a element or compound?
mixture
Is alloy an element?
No. Alloys are mixtures made up of elements like:steel- made up of iron and carbon. Iron and carbon are elements but steel isnt.
Is steel pipe element compound or mixture?

Which element in the periodic table is a saucepan made of?
It could be made of many things:cast iron - alloy of iron and carbonaluminumsteel - alloy of iron, carbon, many other metalslaminated steel and copperlaminated steel and aluminumetc.
Why isn't steel an element?
The main element from which steel is made is Iron (Fe) but steel is not pure - (not just iron) it is an alloy of iron and other elements, primarily carbon. Element MUST be pure substances and if steel were pure it would be Iron.
What four thing can be made from alloy?
Many many things can be made from alloy. Steel is an alloy. How many things can you think of made from 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.
Is steel crowbar a alloy?
Yes, steel is an alloy made out of mostly Iron and Nickel and if I'm not mistaken a steel crowbar is made out of steel.
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.
What is the chemicale symbol of steel?

What is high alloy steel made up of?
your average steel is made of steel
The properties of steel?
Steel is an example of an alloy. To be exact an interstitial alloy which means that a much smaller element is inserted into the larger element to make an alloy which has heightened characteristics. Steel is comprised of iron and carbon. It's very strong, corrodes in harsh sunlight and rain.
