The key element that influence the properties of iron

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Alloying element influence the properties of iron

Explanation of Solution

Iron is found in the earth’s crust in large quantities. It is pure, ductile and has good magnetic properties but undergoes rusting easily. To improve the characteristics of iron, alloying elements are added to it so that it can be used commercially. Elements like manganese, sulfur, silicon and phosphorus are added to iron.
