Explanation

Iron is the principal and essential metal used in manufacturing steel. Steel is primarily an alloy of iron and carbon, with carbon content typically between 0.002% and 2.1% by weight. While other metals like nickel, chromium, and manganese are sometimes added to create specific steel alloys, iron remains the base metal. Lead is not used in steel manufacturing.
