Why do we use iron for making electromagnet and not steel?

The core of an electromagnet is made of an iron alloy known as soft iron. This nearly pure iron is preferred because it doesn’t have a remaining magnetization after the current stops, unlike most steels. This material also has higher magnetic permeability which increases the force of the electromagnet.
