There are a lot of different steel alloys and they have several different chemicals so you cant really say steel is iron and _______. This is really a trick question because no matter what you say you are always wrong.

  • Stainless steel (chromium, nickel)
    • AL-6XN
    • Alloy 20
    • Celestrium
    • Marine grade stainless
    • Martensitic stainless steel
    • Surgical stainless steel (chromium, molybdenum, nickel)
  • Silicon steel (silicon)
  • Tool steel (tungsten or manganese)
  • Bulat steel
  • Chromoly (chromium, molybdenum)
  • Crucible steel
  • Damascus steel
  • HSLA steel
  • High speed steel
  • Maraging steel
  • Reynolds 531
  • Wootz steel

What word is used to describ a metal made by combining other metals?

I think you're looking for "an alloy." According to the Wikipedia page, "An alloy is a partial or complete solid solution of one or more elements in a metallic matrix." But as I've learned in a non-scientific sense, when you melt a bunch of metals and mix 'em together, you've got an alloy.


How do you tell the difference between austentic steel and stainless steel?

Austenitic is not a type of steel, it is a description for steel and many stainless steels can be austenitic. Austenitic steels means that they contain 7% or more chromium or nickel as their major alloy elements and they have the highest corrosion resistance but are not heat treatable.


What is Carbon steel and stainless steel?

Carbon steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon, no chromium, and contains copper and magnesium not more than 0.6% Stainless steel is an iron alloy with less than 2% carbon and it contains chromium and it's resistive to corrosion


What is the difference between steel stainless steel and aluminum?

Steel is a composition of (primarily) Carbon and Iron. The more carbon, the harder, less ductile the steel. Stainless steel is Carbon, Iron and Chromium, that is galvinized (diped into zinc, which corrodes the outer layer of stainless steel,) making it stainless.


What is the difference between steel and stainless steel?

While stainless steel is an alloy of steel, the primary difference between stainless steel and other steels is that the stainless steels have a high percentage (about 10% or even more) of the element chromium in them.

Is a steel alloy a compound?

Steel is an alloy of Iron which usually contains carbon and smaller quantities of other metals such as chromium or molbdenum, depending on the particular steel alloy. Steel is an alloy, which is essentially a mixture.


What is harder alloy or steal?

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.


What item is an alloy?

It is a mixture containing two or more elements, e.g. Iron and other elements like carbon make steel.


What is a mixture of 2 or more elements called when 1 is a metal?

When a mixture of two or more elements includes at least one metal, it is called an alloy. Alloys are formed by combining a metal with one or more other elements, with the properties of the alloy often differing from those of its individual components.


What is stainless steel an example of?

Stainless steel is an example of an alloy, which is a mixture of two or more elements, with one of them being a metal. In the case of stainless steel, it is primarily composed of iron and carbon, but also contains chromium, nickel, and other elements to give it its unique properties such as corrosion resistance and strength.


What is a mixture of elements that has the properties of a metal?

An alloy is a mixture of elements that has the properties of a metal. Alloys are typically made by combining a metal with one or more other elements to enhance specific characteristics such as strength, hardness, or resistance to corrosion. Examples of alloys include steel, bronze, and brass.


What is the metal of alloy?

Don't think you've understood the word. An alloy is a mix of metals. Bronze for instance is an alloy consisiting of copper and tin.


Why is stainless steel more resistant to a chemical charge then regular steel?

The addition of small amounts of certain elements to the alloy, in particular the metal chromium.


Is steel alloy a element or compound?

mixture


Can you find steel bronze and brass in the periodic table and why not?

Steel, bronze, and brass are not found in the periodic table because they are alloys, which are mixtures of two or more elements, with at least one being a metal. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, while bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, and brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. These alloys do not have individual entries in the periodic table because they are combinations of elements.


Why is an alloy made out of steel sronger thanan alloy of iron?

An alloy made out of steel is stronger than an alloy of iron primarily due to the addition of carbon and other alloying elements, which enhance its hardness and tensile strength. The presence of carbon in steel creates a microstructure that improves its overall mechanical properties, such as ductility and resistance to deformation. Additionally, the combination of iron with other elements in steel allows for tailored properties that can be optimized for specific applications, making steel a more versatile and stronger material than pure iron.


Can carbon be part of an alloy?

Yes, carbon can be part of an alloy. When combined with other elements like iron, carbon forms steel, which is a common alloy used in various industrial applications. The amount of carbon in the alloy can significantly impact its properties, such as strength and hardness.
