steel
There are actually several alloys of iron and carbon, cast iron and wrought iron are two. One of the most important criteria in specifying such alloys is the percentage of carbon in the alloy: very high percentages produce extremely strong but brittle alloys while very low percentages produce weak but extremely flexible alloys. Steels require a delicate balance in a narrow range of percentages somewhere in the middle.

∙ 6y agoThe alloy "STEEL" is made of iron with carbon added.
Other elements (chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, cobalt) may add useful properties to steel.
Iron and carbon are present with oxygen in iron carbonate, and in its oxidized form.

Is iron a metal used to make steel?
Steel is made of iron to which is added between 0,02 % and 1.67 % of carbon.If you go over 2% of carbon, you'll get cast iron instead of steel.
Steel is formed when a little bit of carbon is added to this element.?
Iron (Fe) is the main component of steel. Steel is formed when iron is mixed with carbon or other elements.
Does steel wool have iron in it?
steel is made from a mixture of iron and carbon so yes, steel wool definitely has iron in it
Is steel made of rock?
no steel is not made out of rocks its made out of iron
What two elements are used to make steel?
The two elements that make up steel are mainly carbon and iron.
Iron is made with carbon or oxygen?
Neither. Iron is mined and then extracted from its ore.Steel, though is often made by combining iron with carbon
How is iron made from steel?
By removing carbon from iron
Steel is made by mixing iron with carbon or concrete?
Steel is made by mixing iron with carbon. The iron is melted with intense heat and then mixed with carbon. It can them be molded into knives, tools, or many other common things.
What is made mainly from iron and carbon?
steel
What is a supergiant made out of?
it is made of hydrogen,helium,carbon,and iron
Is alloy an element?
No. Alloys are mixtures made up of elements like:steel- made up of iron and carbon. Iron and carbon are elements but steel isnt.
What are steel made of?
Steel is made from iron. We combine a small amount of carbon with iron to get (make) steel.
Made of What is a cast iron skillet?
carbon and silicon
Is steel an element or compound?
Steel is neither, but it is a mixture of iron with carbon
What compounds are iron oxide made from?
carbon dioxide Iron and Oxide form rust
What happens to the element in iron ore when the ore is mixed with carbon and heated?
Iron ores most often contain iron combined with oxygen. The carbon comes from a material called coke, which is made from coal. When heated, the carbon reacts with oxygen in the ore, leaving the purified iron metal behind.
Is iron a metal used to make steel?
Steel is made of iron to which is added between 0,02 % and 1.67 % of carbon.If you go over 2% of carbon, you'll get cast iron instead of steel.
