The principal element in steel is IRON(Fe).

A small but varying percentager of carbon alloyed to iron, gives steel.

Is a steel vegetable can a element or compound?

neither, steel is an alloy.


Is iron alloy or non alloy steel?

Iron is considerd to be an alloy steel. This is because an alloy steel is when carbon is the primary alloying element. However, wire of iron is considerd to be a non alloy.


Is steel an element of iron?

No, steel is not an element. It is actually considered an alloy, and the elements iron and carbon are the basic ingredients for making steel. Certainly other elements can be added for different reasons, like chromium for the production of stainless steel. But it is iron and carbon that make steel.


The properties of steel?

Steel is an example of an alloy. To be exact an interstitial alloy which means that a much smaller element is inserted into the larger element to make an alloy which has heightened characteristics. Steel is comprised of iron and carbon. It's very strong, corrodes in harsh sunlight and rain.


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.


Is steel a metalloid?

No, steel is an alloy of metals as opposed to an element. Elements can be metalloids, but compounds cannot.

Is steel alloy a element compound homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous?

it is a heterogeneous


Is chromium an element or an alloy?

It is the 24th element. The confusion arises because it is the key alloying element added to steel to make it stainless.


What element is mixed with steel?

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.


Is steel typed according to the composition?

Alloy steel. Non-alloy steel. Different elements of steels used in these elements affect the mechanical properties of steel. The most important element. Carbon. Copper. Titanium. Cream. Molybdenum.


When combined with carbon what element makes steel?

Iron is the element that, when combined with carbon, makes steel. Carbon content in steel can range from 0.2% to 2.1%, influencing the properties of the resulting steel alloy.
