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.
What else can I help you with?
How can one make pig iron?
Pig iron is made by heating iron ore with a high carbon content in a blast furnace. The carbon in the ore combines with oxygen to create carbon monoxide, which reduces the iron oxide to iron. The molten iron is then poured into molds to cool and solidify, forming pig iron.
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.
Is steel made of rock?
no steel is not made out of rocks its made out of iron
What are the two elements that make up iron?
Iron is, itself, and element. It is not a compound of two elements.
What is the scientific name of steel?
The scientific name for steel is iron-carbon alloy. It is predominantly made up of iron with a carbon content typically between 0.2% and 2.1%.
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?

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.
