Iron with differrent carbon percentage in it would have different strength and ductile properties at different temperatures.As the percentage of carbon increases its ductility decreases and strenght increases and brittleness increases.This is put in a diagram that explains the condition of iron with different carbon percentage.This is iron carbon system.
iron with 1.5% of carbon by volume or less is called carbon steel and above 1.5% it is called cast iron, hardmess increases with the carbon % i.e. cast iron is harder than carbon steel
iron and carbon
The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel. The main element of steel is Iron but has been added with carbon to make steel.
Iron is the pure element, mild steel, or any steel is iron with a little bit of carbon added. The iron becomes mild steel, steel or any other type of steel depending on how much carbon is added to the iron.

Iron typically contains small amounts of carbon, with most commercial iron containing less than 0.03% carbon. The amount of carbon present can affect the properties of the iron, with higher carbon content resulting in harder, more brittle iron.
Iron oxide carbon makes iron and carbon dioxide through a chemical reaction known as reduction. Iron oxide, or rust, reacts with carbon to produce iron metal and carbon dioxide gas. This process is commonly used in the production of iron and steel.
Iron oxide + carbon monoxide -> iron + carbon dioxide
It is carbon (in the form of coke) that is added to blast furnaces to reduce iron oxide and recover the iron. This is the usual explanation, though most believe that it is the action of carbon monoxide that is involved. The equation for the reaction between iron oxide and carbon that produces iron and carbon monoxide is this one:2Fe2O3 + 3C → 4Fe + 3CO2
pig iron or cast iron having 4.5% carbon as an impurity wroght iron having 0.15% of carbon steel having 1% carbon
If it is pure iron then by definition there is no carbon or anything else present in it, just iron.
Yes, it has iron, chromium, carbon and nickel.
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.
cast iron contain a considerable amount of carbon
Both of these are oxides (of carbon and iron respectively).
If you want to add carbon to an iron alloy all you need to do is melt the iron in the presence of carbon. The carbon will be absorbed and alloy automatically. Carbon can also be added to a thin layer of the surface of a piece of solid iron alloy without melting simply by heating the iron red hot and covering it with carbon for a period of time.
Carbon is used to extract iron from its ore because carbon is a powerful reducing agent that reacts with the iron oxide in the ore to form carbon monoxide. This carbon monoxide then reacts with the iron oxide to form pure iron, while carbon dioxide is produced as a byproduct. This process, known as the blast furnace process, allows for the efficient extraction of iron from its ore.
