iron is the main constituent. carbon is the only other REQUIRED element, at 0.2% to oh, maybe 4% by weight, above which it becomes cast iron. I'd have to look the exact percentages up, but the elements are accurate. Lots of other elements can be mixed in (silicon, aluminum, titanium, vanadium, chrome, nickel, manganese, many more... to make various grades of steel with a variety of characteristecs, but these are all variations on the theme of iron + carbon.

Is steel an element or compound?
Steel is neither, but it is a mixture of iron with carbon
Is stainless steel spoon an element or a mixture or a compound?
No, stainless steel is a homogeneous mixture of iron and chromium.YES, actually, stainless steel is a compound, because compounds are HOMOGENEOUS forms of matter. If it were a mixture, by definition, it would be a HETEROGENEOUS form of matter.
How do you separate steel?
steel can be separated by smashing it and picking out the parts of this mixture.
Is soil a mixture or pure substance?
soil is a mixture because it isn't made up of any elements or any combined elements(compounds). instead soil is a mixture of weathered rock, organic matter, water, and air
Is electricity a compound or elements or mixture?
electricity is not a compound, mixture or element.
How many cubic inches of steel equals an ounce?
The question cannot be answered since steel is a mixture of metals and non-metallic elements and so different forms of steel have different densities.

Is steel a pure substance or mixture is it an element or compound?
Steel is not an element, but is a mixture we call an alloy. It is mostly iron with a bit of carbon in it; these are the primary ingredients. But it may also contain other elements to give it different characteristics. The carbon is in it at about one percent (ball park), while if we add something over about 11% chromium, we'll get stainless steel.
Is steel an element or compound?
Steel is neither, but it is a mixture of iron with carbon
Is steel a real metal?
steel is a mixture of metal elements which commonly include copper, iron, zinc and magnesium.
Is stainless steel a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture?
Stainless steel is a metal alloy. All metal alloys are a Heterogeneous mixture because the elements contained therein are not chemically bonded. If heated, stainless steel forks, for instance, would separate into their component metals according to density.
Is steel alloy a element or compound?
mixture
Is steel pipe element compound or mixture?
steel is an alloy and thus a mixture
Is steel wool an element or mixture?
Steel wool is a mixture.
What item is an alloy?
It is a mixture containing two or more elements, e.g. Iron and other elements like carbon make steel.
Is steel wool a mixture- solution?
Steel wool is a Mixture-Mechanical
What is a mixture of 2 or more elements called when 1 is a metal?
An alloy An alloy. One example is steel, which is an alloy of iron and carbon.
Is concrete a metal nonmetal or metalloid?
No. Concrete is a mixture of cement and other elements. Reinforced concrete often includes iron or steel beams in it to make it stronger.
