I would suggest taking a sample coupon from the boiler and sending it out for analysis whether it is steel or iron.

Or, you can often tell from doing a little grinding on the boiler to see what kind of sparks it generates. A competent metallurgist can tell the difference. Sometimes the boiler is stamped "steel" and that would be a clue.
