Yes, it is true that steel is primarily made up of iron and carbon, with small amounts of other elements added for specific properties.

Steel is an example of an alloy true or false?

True. Steel is an alloy made primarily of iron mixed with carbon and other elements like chromium, nickel, and manganese to enhance its properties such as strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.


What are iron fillings made of?

Iron is an element (can't be divided into two things), although steel is iron mixed with things like carbon, vanadium, manganese, chromium or tungsten. True iron filings are just little shavings of iron, but steel is often used. The extraction and processing of iron ore utilizes the magnetic property of iron, so almost all iron used already has a magnetic polarity "built in".


The production of iron and steel came from a branch of science called metallurgy?

Metallurgy is the science and technology of processing metals. Iron and steel production involve metallurgical processes such as smelting, refining, and alloying to create these materials with specific properties for various applications in industries like construction, automotive, and manufacturing.


Is it true or false iron is separated from oxygen by cooling iron ore?

False. Iron is separated from oxygen during the process of smelting iron ore in a blast furnace, where the ore is heated to high temperatures in the presence of carbon (coke) to remove the oxygen and extract the iron. Cooling alone does not separate iron from oxygen in iron ore.


Is carbon the best steel for a knife?

There is no "best" steel for knives as all of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Generally though, high carbon stainless steels would be better then the lower alloy non stainless steels. They perform just as good, but they have added corrision resistance. This is especially true of stainless steels such as Cpm S30v which has similar corrision resistance to 440c (the most corrision resistant steel that's useable for knives), yet is is tougher. .

What is the poisson ratio for carbon steel?

For Cast Iron, per the related website is: .22 - .30. If you can get more information on the grade of the iron, you will be able to get close to the true value. I have in the past used 0.27 for cast iron.


When iron ore is heated in a blast furnace the products are pure iron and carbon dioxide?

Yes because it becomes iron oxide this is true.


How is cast iron different from steel?

Steel is different from cast iron because cast iron is when some of the molten iron is left to solidify in moulds. And then most of the iron is kept molten to be turned into steel. But steel is made by removing move of the impurities from the iron and then mixing other elements to change the properties.


Is it true or false that when an iron ore is heated in a blast furnace the products are pure iron and carbon dioxide?

False. When iron ore is heated in a blast furnace, the primary products are molten iron and slag, rather than pure iron and carbon dioxide. The carbon from coke reacts with the oxygen in the iron ore (primarily iron oxide) to produce carbon dioxide and molten iron, but the iron produced typically contains impurities and is not pure iron. Further refining processes are needed to obtain pure iron.

Why iron cannot be found in free state?

Oxygen in the air, particularly combined with water, causes iron to rust, so iron turns into rust fairly quickly. Some iron alloys are rust resistant. While these are seldom found in nature, we do sometimes find nickel-iron meteorites that have not rusted away, which is the closest we come to finding metallic iron in nature.


How can you make wrought iron candle holders and sconces?

True wrought iron is very rare. That being said anyone with some low carbon steel, a hammer, a good heat source and lots of patience can't make their own. see plan 35 and plan 135 on this web page http://www.anvilfire.com/iForge/


Why do you think alloys are used instead of the pure metals to make many products?

An alloy is a combination of two or more elements, of which at least one element is a metal. The combining process results in an end product with metallic properties as well. Although it may not be true in all cases, alloys are used to manufacture products because the alloy is superior, or stronger, than any of the components used to make it. An example would be steel, a combination of carbon and iron.
