Pure iron oxide is a compound, but if there is something else mixed in with it, then of course it will become a mixture. There is more than one oxide of iron, though.
Here are 2 types of iron oxide:
Iron (II) Oxide is a black powder with a formula of FeO
Iron (III) Oxide, also rust, is a brownish-red powder with a formula of Fe2O3

∙ 15y agoundoubtedly the molten iron is the solvent (just like the water) it can contain more than 5 elements and it can also solve more of them. I could not find much investigation on iron in that phase (may be as a result of not to be important in chem) but as you may now any solvent should have chemical interactions with other species to solve it.
it must be strong interactions between carbon and iron and also others.
I had found some investigations on the solution of SiO2 at high temperatures.

Is an iron nail a element compound or mixture?
in its pure form, iron is an element, but that may not be what you are referring to.... if you have iron oxide (rust), this is a compound of iron and oxygen.
Is an ore a compound or mixture?
Ores such as iron oxide is a compound and not a mixture due to two reasons: i. iron atoms being chemically bonded (not physically mixed) to oxygen atoms forming iron oxide; ii. the separation of iron from its oxide requires a chemical reaction.
