The hardness of iron?
It's actually a rather difficult question to answer as iron can be forged in a number of different ways, each giving a different hardness. I've attached a link to a site giving different hardness values for some treatments of grey iron.
Can you consider hardness of a metal is one of physical property?
Yes, hardness is a physical property of a metal that describes its resistance to deformation or scratching. It is an important characteristic that can determine the metal's suitability for specific applications. Hardness can be measured using various methods such as Brinell hardness, Rockwell hardness, or Vickers hardness tests.
Does aluminum has equivalent hardness of iron's hardness?
no, aluminum is softer.
What metal is obtained in the ore magnetite?

Why is iron hard?
It depends on the deposit. What deposit are you talking about? What measure of hardness are you after? e.g. UCS, Moh's Hardness Scale e.t.c. On moh it is 4 Brinnel hardness it is 490
What hardness does a mineral have if it scratched by glass but scratched an iron nail?
It would have to be 5.0 because glass has a hardness of 5.5 and an iron nail has the hardness of 4.5
Is emerald stronger then iron?
No, emerald is not stronger than iron. Emerald is a type of beryl and has a hardness of about 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, while iron has a hardness of around 4.0 to 5.0. Additionally, iron is a metal, making it much more durable and capable of withstanding stress compared to emerald, which is a brittle gemstone. Therefore, in terms of strength and durability, iron is significantly stronger than emerald.
Is gold considered a soft metal or hard metal?
Gold is considered a relatively soft metal. It has a Mohs hardness of about 2.5 to 3, which means it can be scratched easily compared to harder metals like iron or steel.
