An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resulting material has metallic properties.
Steel is an alloy. It is a combination of iron (metallic) and other elements. Usually the iron is combined with carbon (non metallic) but can be combined also with molybdenum, manganese, chromium, or nickel. The proportion of elements added to the iron will affect the hardness of the steel. The greater the amount will increase hardness.
