Why does a piece of iron feel colder than a piece of wood even though they are both in the same temperature?
Wood is a porous material in which a lot of air is trapped, and as a result, it is a poor conductor of heat. Iron is a denser material which is a good conductor of heat. So when you touch iron, heat flows easily from your finger into the colder piece of iron. Heat flows much more slowly from your finger into a piece of wood, even if the wood is exactly the same temperature as the iron.
When a person uses an iron to remove the wrinkles from a shirt why does heat travel from the iron to the shirt.?
The iron is hotter than the shirt Heat flows easily from higher temperature to lower temperature region. Iron is at high temperature and shirt is at lower temperature.

Is a curling iron conduction convection or radiation?
According to Wikipedia, convection is a heat transfer proces that requires the presence of something to transfer that heat, but it is a process that happens in fluids. Conduction is transfer of heat from a hot object to a less hot object, in this case from a hot curling iron to your hair. Radiation heat transfer is by its nature different from convection in that it does NOT require a medium. Since we are not talking about fluids or about heat transfer without the help of an medium, the process you are looking for is conduction
Does iron keep things cold?
No, it takes a liw amount of heat to be able to heat iron up. Meaning that if iron was outside, the iron would heat up whatever object it has inside of it relatively quickly. If you want to get into specifics, iron has a low specific heat, so a low amount of energy is needed in order for temperature to change (energy is measured in heat [juoles])

Name three materials that are good conductors of heat?
Cupper, Aluminium, Iron, and all other metals.
What is the cunductor of heat and electricity of iron?

What is metallurgical process?
Metalugry is the science of shapeing metals by heat. There are cases when not the shape, but the quality of the material is canging. A metallugrical process is a process from metallurgy. It can be anything, like poruing molted iron into shape.
