Question:

what is the similarity beetween ironn and steel?

i wanna know all the similarities between iron and steel

Answer:

Steel is an iron alloy which contains between 0.2 percent and 2.0% carbon. Modern steels nearly always contain 0.5% - 1% manganese as well. (though technically the manganese doesn't need to be present for it to be considered steel.) Above 2.1% is usually called cast iron. Cast iron is brittle, but has a lower melting point than steel. Below 0.2% percent carbon is considered commercially pure iron. Pure iron is soft and malleable like copper, but it has low strength. Adding small amounts of carbon increases it's strength dramatically.
1. Both victim of corrosion
Iron is raw from iron ore, steel has other metals added such as alloys or copper to give tesil strength and flexibility
