Iron is the sixth most abundant element in the Universe, and the most common refractory element. Iron is consequently the most abundant element on Earth, but only the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust.hardness of 20-30 Brinell and due to high availability its cost is lower than other metal. its corrosion resistance is more but we can increases it s by adding carbon 0.2% to 2%.( the mixture of iron+carbon=steel).
hope it will help you.

Which metals are better conductors of magnetism?
iron
What base metals contain iron?
Base metals that contain iron include steel, which is an alloy of iron and carbon, and cast iron, which also contains a higher carbon content along with other elements. Additionally, alloys like wrought iron and ferroalloys, which combine iron with other metals such as manganese or silicon, are also considered base metals. Other base metals like nickel and cobalt can be found in iron-rich ores, although they are not primarily composed of iron.
Why does a potato cook faster when an iron rod is placed through it?
Iron conducts heat better than other metals so it heats up the potato faster.
Why isn't iron or other certain transition metals used in constructive instead of the alkali metals?
Iron is used !
Are dragonflies attracted to iron such as rebar?
No, dragonflies are not attracted to iron or other metals.
Can metals that don't have iron develop rust?
Other metals can corrode, but the term rust is usually just refers to the product of corroding iron or iron alloys.
Why are iron and certain other transition metals used in construction instead of the alkali metals?
Iron has more important mechanical properties.
Can you name me a ferrous metals?
Ferrous metals contain iron. The best example thus will be iron itself.

Differences between ferrous and non-ferrous metals?
The word "Ferrous" indicates "Iron". Ferrous metals are metals which are made up of iron. For example, Carbon steel, Wrought iron, Stainless steel and Iron itself. Non-ferrous metals on the other hand are metals which do not have any iron content in them. For example, Nickel, Lead, Brass, Copper, etc.
Do all metals rust?
Only metals containing iron rust. Other metals, over time, corrode.
