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."
