Iron
because it can make steel an even tougher and harder steel compound.
Well one is iron...
Compounds that form when an element such as aluminum or iron combines chemically with oxygen are called oxides. Oxide minerals are used to make products such as abrasives, toothpaste, cement, and paint.

you cant make iron, its an element.

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.
Iron is, itself, and element. It is not a compound of two elements.

IRON
Pure iron is an element all unto itself. Pure iron is not a good metal; it is soft and weak. The most important element added to iron is carbon; iron alloyed with carbon becomes steel, which can be 1000 times stronger than pure iron. You can also add many other elements, like chromium, manganese, molybdenum, cobalt...to make "alloy steel."
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.

A SMALL amount of carbon added to iron changes the crystal structure of iron into steel.
