Best Answer

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".
