How is steel an improvement over iron?

Steel is clean an has less impurities than iron, steel also has high alloys in it like chrome, vanadium an Molly to make stronger, take a hammer an hit a peace of steal then take that hammer an hit a peace of iron, the iron will dent.It is lighter and stronger.

Will reducing carbon in steel increase malleability?

Yes. Carbon is added to iron in steel to make the steel stronger by making it more rigid. The more rigid a metal is, the less malleable it is.


Why do they make window frames from aluminium and not steel?

Window frames used to be made from steel but aluminium is lighter and does not rust.


What metallic element is added to steel to make it stronger?

Steel is an alloy, and it is made from the elements ironand carbon. Other elements and combinations of elements can be added to the steel to change its properties to fit different applications, including :Chromium - improves durability and prevents rust (stainless steel).Nickel - increases durability and resistance to heat and acids.Manganese - increases strength and resistance to wear.Molybdenum - increases strength and resistance to heat.Tungsten - retains hardness at high temperatures.Vanadium - increases strength and springiness.


What element can be added to it to make it even stronger?

carbon


Is hardness of steel a chemical property?

Yes. Various elements are added to steel to make it harder, or stainless, etc. Tungsten is typically added to iron to make harder steel, but there are other elements for this, also.


What physical properties does titanium have that make it a better choice for a racing bike than the alloy steel?

Basically, Titanium is stronger. This means that you can use less of it and still end up with a lighter bike that is strong enough to ride.


Iron and carbon combine to make what?

Iron and carbon combine to make steel, which is a commonly used alloy known for its strength and durability. The amount of carbon in the iron determines the properties of the resulting steel, such as its hardness and ability to be shaped through heat treatment.
