Pure iron is somewhat soft. To make steel, you typically add extra carbon to the iron, which results in a harder (though more brittle) metal.
Essentially, you reduce the carbon content of the raw iron by blowing in oxygen until you have the desired amount of carbon left. I should have written 'elementary' iron instead of pure.
