First it depends on what type of steel, but most steel is consisting mostly of iron, with carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight, depending on the grade. Carbon is the most cost-effective alloying material for iron, but various other alloying elements are used such as manganese, chromium, vanadium, and tungsten.

It is neither an element not a compound. Steel is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of a metal and another element.

Other elements can be mixed in , e.g. chromium to form Stainless Steel, or Tungsten to form hard wearing steel.
