Yes, magma can melt iron. Since magma is already extremely hot, and since it is hotter than iron's melting point, magma can melt iron.

∙ 9y agoLava will not melt iron. Lava is normally found at a temperature from 800 to 1100 degrees C. The melting point of iron is a much higher 1538 degrees C.

∙ 9y agoYes, lava is hot enough to melt rocks. This only happens if the lava is pouring over the rocks over a period of time, though.

∙ 13y agosome lava can melt some metal. different metals have different melting points and different lava has different temps.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThe temperature of lava is 1,300 °F to 2,200 °F, the melting point of iron is 2795.0 °F so the answer is no lava will not melt iron.

What is the first minerals to form when magma cools that are rich in iron calcium and magnesium?
Olivine is the first mineral to crystallize as the mineral first to crystallize is the last to melt.
What is the source of materials for volcanoes the erupt?
rocks near the mantle melt and become magma, the volcano launches this magma and it opens a new layer of rock to melt
Where does the energy needed to melt the iron come from?
The energy comes from the heat to melt the iron
Does cyanide melt iron?
No. The only thing that can actually melt iron is high temperatures.
What type of magma would you expect to see after crystallization of minerals containing significant amounts of iron?
A magma depleted in iron
Do sedimentary rocks melt and become magma?
No. It's the Metamorphic rocks that melt and become magma.

Will magma melt diamond?
a diamond's melting point is so highmagma will not melt it
What does molten magma melt?
Almost everything.
Does magma form when rock begins to melt?
Yes. Magma is underground molten rock.
What chemicals to use to melt iron or steel?
which chemical is used to melt the iron

Does cyanide melt iron?
No. The only thing that can actually melt iron is high temperatures.
Can magma met a diamond?
The melting point of diamond is sufficiently high that magma would not melt it.
Is. magma is melt rock that has come to the surface?
No! First of all, magma is below the surface and it is molten material.
