Solution

A homogenous mixture of metal with another metal or a nonmetal results in the formation of an alloy. The properties of an alloy differ from the constituent metals.
The alloy Nickel steel constitutes Iron and Nickel.
In Nickel steel, the composition of Iron and Nickel is 96-98% and 2-4 % respectively.
Nickel steel is used in electric wire cable and it is hard and elastic.
Therefore, the constituents present in Nickel steel are Iron and Nickel.
