Iron (Fe) is an inorganic element, which is an active metal that readily combines with oxygen in moist air to form oxides, which is commonly known as rust. It belongs to the transition metal group with high thermal and electrical conductivity. The metal shows a high tendency to form positive ions and may exist in +2 and +3 oxidation states. Iron easily dissolves in acid compounds such as citric acid, hydrobromic acid, muriatic acid, hydrochloric acid (HCl), etc. It is produced commercially by heating hematite and magnetite ores with cake and limestone in a blast furnace. The boiling and melting points of the metal compound measures around 2862° C and 1538° C, respectively.
Iron is a lustrous metal that is silver-gray in color. It is a highly ductile and malleable metal, providing manufacturers with an exceptional combination of castability and machinability for various industrial applications.
