The difference is due to the fact that the carbon in steel is not in a graphitic form as well as because it is present in smaller quantities.
From The Working of Steel Annealing, Heat Treating and Hardening of Carbon and Alloy Steel by Fred H. (Fred Herbert) Colvin
Those made from No. 1 pig iron—the most graphitic and costly—broke more easily than those from No. 2, and so on until those made from No. 4 were tested, when the maximum strength was reached.

Attention was called to some German data, published by Dr. Percy in 1864, concerning an iron which before melting weighed—approximately—448¼ lb. per cubic foot, and contained—approximately—4 per cent. of carbon—3¼ being graphitic and ¾ combined.
