∙ 11y agoThe speed of sound in steel depends greatly on the type of steel.
The range is typically 4,500 m/s to 6,100 m/s.
This applies only to simple compression waves since shear waves are more complex, but that is a different question.
For more explanation, see related links.

How fast does sound sound wave travel through iron in miles per hour?
Speed of sound in iron = 5120 metres / sec = 11453 miles / hour
What is a sound wave of 125hz and the speed of 5000 ms?
It is sound travelling through a dense medium, like iron, for example.
Do sound waves travel slowly through iron?
That completely depends on what "slowly" means to you.Sound propagating through iron is quite slow compared to the speed of lightin vacuum, but is substantially faster than the same sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.
Spedd of sound in the 3 states of matter?
The speed of sound in the 3 states of matter is variable. Dependent on density, temperature, humidity, and many other properties.In 77°F water the speed of sound is 1497m/s (2409km/s)In dry 68°F air, the speed of sound is 768mph (1236kmh).The speed of sound in solid matter is different depending on basically what the solid is, and it's properties.In iron the speed of sound is 5130m/s (8255km/s), in lead it is 1322m/s (2127km/s)The formula for the speed of sound is as follows:c equals the square root of C divided by P.c = Speed of sound.C = Coefficient of stiffness.P = Density.

Sound travels faster in glass or iron?
One source on the Internet (http://www.bamr.co.za/velocity%20of%20materials.shtml) has the speed of sound in various glasses between 4260 and 6800 m/s and that source has the speed of sound in steels 5900 to 6100 and cast iron 3500 to 5600 So according to that source the speed of sound is comparable in both iron and glass with the variations giving lower speeds in some iron compounds/manufacturing states then the lowest speeds in glass and some glasses having higher speeds than steels.

What is the speed of sound in a block of iron?
assuming 1-D chain of Iron(56) atoms with interatomic separation 2.5A spring constant 4eV/A^2 then calculation gives the speed 6551m/s which is 6.551 km/s
How does the speed of sound in air compare to the speed of sound in solid?
The speed of sound in a solid is faster than the speed of sound in air.
How does the speed of sound in steel compare with the speed of sound in air?
The speed of sound in steel is faster than the speed of sound in air.

Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
How fast is sound energy?
It depends on the substance the sound is traveling through. If the sound is traveling through air, it is usually about 800km/h. If it is traveling through water, the speed is about 4000km/h. If it is traveling through cosmos, its speed is 0km/h.
