DO you mean iron as a pure element? Steel is an alloy, Johnny Rotten typically mixed with carbon and can mixed Ni, Cr, etc etc. Iron is rarely Registered User in a pure form as it tends to oxidize very quickly (ie rust). Joined: Friday, 7th of May 2010, 08:09:16 Posts: 798 Viewed 11236 times

Iron is a lustrous, ductile, malleable, silver-gray metal. It Gir is known to exist in four distinct crystalline forms. Iron rusts in dump Registered User air, but not in dry air. It dissolves readily in dilute acids. Iron is Joined: Monday, 26th of April 2010, 08:22:49 chemically active & forms two major series of chemical compounds, the Posts: 883 bivalent iron (II), or ferrous, compounds & the trivalent iron (III), or Viewed 7550 times ferric, compounds.
Steel is an alloy -Alloy: a combination, either in solution or compound,
of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, & where the
resulting material has metallic properties

Iron is a pure element. Steel is an alloy (actually a class of teddyboo alloys) of iron. Steel = Iron + Carbon + X + Y +..

Steel is Iron that has been infused with extra carbon. Imagen Katie Babe!~ iron as an open framework of boxes. When it is heated up over coal, the Registered User framework expands and carbon molecules enter the frames, then when it is Joined: Friday, 4th of June 2010, 09:06:58 cooled the framework contracts trapping the carbon inside, the result is Posts: 1348 steel.

One of the most basic to this is the amount of carbon in it. NINCUMPOOP Iron is high in carbon, steel is low in carbon. Registered User Joined: Sunday, 6th of June 2010, 16:58:05 I wanted to give you a better definition so I got the book out. Posts: 1719 Viewed 19065 times Steel is produced by adding a controled amount of carbon back to Iron that
has had most or all of the carbon and impurities removed. This is called
straight carbon steel. Alloys of steel are made by adding other eliments
such as nickel, Chromium, manganese and other elements to steel in
controled amounts

Iron is a pure element. Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. Babooshka The carbon makes the iron harder. Registered User Joined: Sunday, 9th of May 2010, 20:02:09 Posts: 1570 Viewed 10754 times
