That depends on what you mean - soft iron is usually the name given to iron that is easily magnetised and demagnetised. In which case it is usually very pure. Mecahnically soft and hard irons have different crystal structures and trace impurities, although iron is more correctly known as steel when it is anything but 100% pure iron.

Can soft iron be made from hard iron?

Iron that has some carbon is cooled very rapidly from about 1300 degrees F. to close to room temperature . The carbon atoms get in the way of the iron atoms as they form a lattice work in the cooling steel. that makes the steel very hard but very brittle. The the next step is to reheat the iron to about 440 degrees F. that way you get a reasonably hard iron that won't break when you need to use it.
