Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Carbon is valued for its ability to add strength and hardness to steel, but it has a high melting point that limits its use as structural material in heavy equipment and other higher-temperature applications
Alloy steels are made by mixing two or more elements in varying proportions. For example, a steel made from iron and chromium is an alloy steel because the mix makes it stronger than pure iron or chromium alone. The most common alloy steels are made from iron, manganese, and silicon.
