What are the elements of steel?

Answer 1

iron ore, coal, and alloys are the main components of steel. flux can be added to facilitate purity in the process, and often scrap is melted down and added b/c it is more available than the raw elements in many areas.

Carbon And IRON ! Ferrous Metal.

Answer 2

In Runescape: mine a iron ore and then go mine 2 coal. Go to the furnace and smelt it into steel bar. (please note that you need lv 30 smithing to smelt steel.) In Maplestory: get some steel ore by killing monsters, almost every monster drop it but the percent of drops varies. Take it to a person who makes things and tell him to refine the ore. In real life: Now to get to the point: it is made from iron ore and carbon. I imagine that some coal is also used and also some other element metals in very small amounts.

Answer 3

Steel is almost all iron. It has a touch of carbon in it (to make the iron turn into steel) and can have bits of this and that to produce an alloy that is specific to a task. Some cobalt and heat treating will get it really hard and wear resistant. Add 11% or so of chromium and presto! you'll get stainless steel. Get the lowdown by using the link to our friends at Wikipedia. The science of steel is a broad and deeply involved topic from alloys to heat treating. Life as we know it would not be the same without steel.

Answer 4

Steel is primarily composed of iron, with carbon being the main alloying element. Other common elements found in steel include manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, and silicon. The exact composition of steel can vary depending on the desired properties for a specific application.

Answer 5

I think it is 2 components. Iron and carbon.

Answer 6

do you mean the chemical composition? It's made of iron and carbon... there's only two.

Answer 7

Iron and carbon and whatever additional additives are appropriate to get desired specific results.

Answer 8

smelting shaping cooling
