In fact, it's the most abundant element on Earth. But you won't find steel anywhere in Earth's outer or inner core, as it's a man-made alloy that requires mixing iron and carbon. All steel contains iron, but it also contains carbon. The addition of carbon is what distinguishes iron from steel. By weight, steel contains about 2.14% carbon.

There are a bunch of differences between steel and iron. The biggest difference is that iron is a naturally occurring element. You can break open rocks filled with iron ore, melt it down, and form it into pure bars of iron. Then you can use the iron to make a variety of different objects. Steel is an alloy.

Abstract. Uganda aspires to exploit its abundant iron ore resources to supply the required raw material for developing its iron and steel industry across all the phases of the value chain.
