There may be a bit of antimony (Sb, stibium) in steel components, but probably not very darn much. It might have arrived there through recycling with scrap being added to a melt. Most antimony will "burn off" in the heat of the furnace prior to a pour, and this because the furnace runs at near or a bit more above stibium's boiling point. Different steel mills will operate a bit differently, of course, and there is also the idea of a vertical temperature gradient across a furnace to factor in. The manufacturer will specify what all is in a batch of steel to any customer. And many different metals will end up in the steel (in addition to the carbon) depending on what is fed into the furnace, but usually just in trace amounts. Unless the metal is intentionally alloyed in to produce specific characteristics, that is.
