iron alloy
Metal blend, hardened
An iron alloy is a metal made by combining iron with other elements—typically carbon, chromium, nickel, or manganese—to achieve properties pure iron lacks.
Steel is the most common iron alloy, with carbon added for hardness and strength.
Stainless steel adds chromium for corrosion resistance.
Cast iron contains higher carbon for brittleness and castability.
