Almost any metal might be included in a steel alloy.
The simplest alloy that is called steel is an alloy of just iron and carbon. But it is the ratio that is important (e.g. cast iron is also an alloy of just iron and carbon, but it has too much carbon making it too brittle to be steel).
There are also a few nonmetals (e.g. boron, silicon) that might be included in a steel alloy.
What else can I help you with?
What is the main strengthening element in steel?
Carbon is the main hardening element in steel. However, increasing the hardness decreases the ductility. Strength in this case is relative.
What is the main element in steel found in the periodci table?
The main element in steel is iron. The other elements make up a small portion of steel but greatly influence its structure. Still, if it ever becomes possible to create 100% pure iron, it will be stronger.
What is a substance that has no other substance mixed with it?
That is an element.
Is steel a compound or a element?
hahahahahahahahaha.....if you dont know visit some other website.hahahaha
What is element in alloy steel?
The principal element in steel is IRON(Fe). A small but varying percentager of carbon alloyed to iron, gives steel.
Is steel an element or a compound?
It is neither an element not a compound. Steel is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of a metal and another element. In the case of steel, it is principally iron (an element), with about 0.2% to 2,0% carbon ( an element), mixed in. Other elements can be mixed in , e.g. chromium to form Stainless Steel, or Tungsten to form hard wearing steel.
What type of Steel used in oil rigs?
Steel mixed with the element Manganese to give a very hard, strong steel alloy. Most likely used for machinery.
Steel is formed when a little bit carbon is added to this element?
Iron (Fe) is the main component of steel. Steel is formed when iron is mixed with carbon or other elements.
When iron is mixed with carbon is it called zinc?
No, when iron is mixed with carbon it forms steel, not zinc. Zinc is a separate element and does not come from the combination of iron and carbon.
Is steel a non-element or a element?
A non element. Steel is formed from Iron and carbon.
Is the element steel an electrical conductor?
Steel isn't an element but, yes, it is a conductor.
What element is in the major compound of steel?
Iron is the major element in steel. Only an element can be an element, and an element can not be a compound, the definition of which requires more than one element.
Steel is made from what heavier element?
Iron is the heavier element from which steel is primarily made.
What element can convert steel into stainless steel?
chromium
What element is 35 percent stronger then steel?
Bone is 5 times stronger than steel, but not an element.
Is steel wool an element or mixture?
Steel wool is a mixture.
Is a steel vegetable can a element or compound?
neither, steel is an alloy.
