Did research!

Chromium (and sometimes nickel too) is added to steel to make stainless steel

steel = iron and carbon
stainless steel = steel + chromium

A compound is any 2 or more elements combined.
Steel is a compound - so adding one anything else to it would make it a mixture....because its not a grouping of 2+ elements at that point...rather a combination of a compound and an element.

Stainless Steel = MIXTURE
