Iron Fe Properties,Formula,Price, Uses

What is Iron

**Introduction to Iron** Iron is a vital metallic element widely used in industries and everyday life due to its strength, durability, and versatility. As the fourth most abundant element in Earth’s crust, iron is essential in manufacturing steel, machinery, construction materials, and transportation equipment. Its magnetic properties make it valuable in electronics and engineering. Iron also plays a crucial role in biological systems, forming hemoglobin in blood to transport oxygen. Available in various forms—cast iron, wrought iron, and alloys—it supports infrastructure, tools, and household items. With excellent recyclability, iron remains a sustainable and cost-effective material, driving industrial progress and innovation worldwide. A cornerstone of modern civilization, iron continues to shape our technological and economic development.
