Iron‚ which has the chemical symbol Fe‚ is an extremely useful metal and the most common element 0n the planet Earth. Here are some of the more common uses of iron in the world today. Uses of Iron * Iron catalysts are used in the Haber-Bosch Process to produce ammonia and the Fischer-Tropsch Process to convert carbon monoxide to hydrocarbons used for fuels and lubricants. * Iron metal is strong but is also quite cheap. Therefore‚ it is the most common metal in use today. Most automobiles

A clothing iron‚ also called a flatiron or simply an iron‚ is a small appliance: a handheld piece of equipment with a flat‚ roughly triangular surface that‚ when heated‚ is used to press clothes to remove creases. It is named for the metal of which the device is commonly made‚ and the use of it is generally called ironing. Ironing works by loosening the ties between the long chains of molecules that exist in polymer fiber materials. With the heat and the weight of the ironing plate‚ the fibers are

restricted to iron or products made from it .Iron is easily prone to rusting making its surface rough. Chemically‚ rust is a hydrated ferric oxide Titanic‘s bow exhibiting microbial corrosion damage in the form of ‘rusticles’ Rusting an Electrochemical Mechanism ; Rusting may be explained by an electrochemical mechanism. In the presence of moist air containing dissolved oxygen or carbon dioxide‚ the commercial iron behave as if composed of small electrical cells. At anode of cell‚ iron passes into

Extracting Iron from Iron Ore in a Blast Furnace The metal iron and its alloy steel is one of the most important substances used by man. Humans have been discovering the metal’s uses science 3500BC. Huge quantities are used in the construction industry to construct of all kinds of vehicles. The most common from of iron known is the oxide. The Iron is extracted from the ore that contains the most amount of iron. The iron is extracted from its oxide ore called Hematite. Many things are produced

History of Iron and Steel I have researched the origin of hot metal cars for many years. In the very early years of iron production and later steel production historical is sketchy at best. Almost in plant equipment was built on sight and sometimes no drawings were used. The ability of American fabricators in the late 1700 and the 1800 amazes me. A case in point is Otto Mears a German immigrant that built most of the three foot gauge railroads in the Colorado Rockies. He had a third grade education

IRON (METAL) Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is the most common element (by mass) forming the planet Earth as a whole‚ forming much of Earth’s outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth’s crust. Iron’s very common presence in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production as a result of fusion in high-mass stars‚ Like other group 8 elements‚ iron

Ashland County West Holmes Career Center Mrs. Bender 1 Background Iron powder will react with cupric sulfate in a onetoone ratio (1 mole to 1 mole). The students will also be able to more easily visualize the size of a mole of iron and copper. The result obtained in this lab usually have less than a one percent error. Fe(s) + CuSO4 (aq) > FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) Iron powder cupric sulfate ferrous sulfate copper In the reaction‚ iron will be the limiting reagent; it will be completely used up in the reaction

The Iron-Carbon Diagram There are two iron-carbon equilibrium diagrams: - stable iron-graphite Fe-Gr - metastable iron-cementite Fe-Fe3C The stable condition usually takes a very long time to develop. The metastable diagram is of more interest. Fe3C iron carbide called cementite because it is hard. Following phases exist on Fe-Fe3C diagram: - liquid solution of iron and carbon (L) - ferrite ( ) – an interstitial solid solution of carbon in Fe (bcc). At room temperature ferrite is ductile but
