Cast iron is also known as grey iron. 95% of cast iron includes alloy material. Carbon and silicon are also in the composition of cast iron. Cast iron is used in cooking and engineering applications.
Steel is cast iron with some of the carbon taken out. When iron oxide is reduced to make cast iron, it has about 4% carbon in it. This makes it quite brittle. Steel is iron with between 0.2 and 2.1% carbon. It has higher tensile strength than cast iron, and is used to make big bridges.
Stainless steel is steel with 10.5-11%+ of chromium, and it doesn't rust or corrode, and it stains less than normal steel. However, it is quite expensive so mainly used for small items like cutlery.
Carbon is added to iron to form an alloy with greater strength. The modern process is called the Bessemer process. Other elements such as chromium, manganese, and vanadium can be added to produce useful steel alloys.
Carbon is added to iron to make it stronger, the end product is called "steel", you may have heard of it, nickel is added to steel to make stainless steel
Cast iron is a mixture of iron with various iron carbides and often simple carbon inclusions. It may also contain some other elements.
Non metals such as oxygen, sulfur, chlorine and bromine combine with iron in order to form compounds. And most of these show ionic character.
You need to mix with a kind of carbon.
Carbon
Yes, because sulfur and iron are both elements and in order to have a compound you must have two or more elements combined in a fixed ratio.
Sulfides
An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resulting material has metallic properties. Steel is an alloy. It is a combination of iron (metallic) and other elements. Usually the iron is combined with carbon (non metallic) but can be combined also with molybdenum, manganese, chromium, or nickel. The proportion of elements added to the iron will affect the hardness of the steel. The greater the amount will increase hardness.
No, because Iron oxide is not a mixture of Iron and Oxygen. It is a compound in which iron and Oxygen have been chemically combined to create a new substance, which has different chemical and physical properties form either of the two elements which it is made from.
Almost all elements can be combined into compounds, for example water=h20 steel=iron and carbon. Their properties usually change. For example when carbon is added to iron to make steel, it becomes stronger and more durable. Humans use compounds to our advantage, adding various elements to materials to make them water proof, stronger, more flexible, harder e.g
A compound is made up of elements that are chemically combined.
A compound is 2 or more elements permanently combined. Rust is a combination of iron and oxygen, both elements- into iron oxide, a compound.

Formation of some compounds by chemical reactions
sulfide do not exist alone, but combined with other elements like sulfide of iron with the formula FeS2
Compound are all alike because they all have two elements combined together like iron+sulfide=ironsulfide
Chemical elements are combined to produce chemical compounds.
If you mean, "What elements make up iron sulphide," then they are Iron and Sulphur. Various 'types' of iron sulphide exist, including FeS (iron (II) sulphide), FeS2 (commonly known as pyrite, iron (II) disulphide or fool's gold), and Fe2S3 (iron (III) sulphide).
Compounds are formed when elements of matter are chemically combined.
Compound are all alike because they all have two elements combined together like iron+sulfide=ironsulfide
