where does carbon powder come from?

Question

I see cabon makes Iron into Steel how?

Answer 1

carbon ocours in 3 forms diamond or graphite .
so if u grind some one of these 2 then u'll have carbon powder.

steel-Any of a great number of alloys that contain the element iron as the major component and small amounts of carbon as the major alloying element. These alloys are more properly referred to as carbon steels. Small amounts, generally on the order of a few percent, of other elements such as manganese, silicon, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel may also be present in carbon steels. However, when large amounts of alloying elements are added to iron to achieve special properties, other designations are used to describe the alloys. For example, large amounts of chromium, over 12%, are added to produce the important groups of alloys known as stainless steels.

Answer 2

Carbon is dug out from the earth and is ground to powder. Ususally the carbon used is in the form of graphite. Major sources of high purity graphite are in the Amazon region of Brazil and Sri Lanka.

The carbon is combines with iron under high heat. The carbon molecules are physically (not chemically) linked with the iron molecules and form the alloy "carbon steel"

Answer 3

carbon
