Iron, like most metals, is very unflammable and will only melt at high temperatures but not catch fire

actually i just learn in science class steel wool has traces of iron and steel wool can be burn and if put in a container filled with pure oxygen it can self combust

Is ferrous metal flammable?

Ferrous metals, such as iron and steel, are not inherently flammable. However, they can become flammable when they are in a finely divided form, such as iron powder or steel wool, and exposed to high temperatures or oxygen. In normal solid form, ferrous metals do not catch fire easily.


Are non metals flammable?

It depends on the specific nonmetal. The nonmetals hydrogen, carbon, phosphorus, and sulfur are flammable. Nitrogen and the noble gasses are mostly inert and so are nonflammable. Oxygen is not flammable but supports combustion of other materials. The halogens are not flammable but are oxidizers that can act in a similar manner as oxygen in a redox reaction.


Is alkaline flammable?

Alkaline substances are generally not flammable on their own. However, certain alkaline metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium can react violently with water or air, leading to combustion. These reactions are highly exothermic and can produce flammable hydrogen gas.


What is difference between flammable gas and combustible gas?

Flammable gas refers to any gas that can ignite and burn easily under normal conditions, while combustible gas is a subset of flammable gas and refers specifically to gases that can ignite and burn in the presence of oxygen. In other words, all combustible gases are flammable, but not all flammable gases are necessarily combustible.


What is the difference between hazardous and flammable gas?

Capable of igniting and burning is a combustible gas. Any compressed gas meeting the requirements for lower flammability limit, flammability limit range, flame projection,etc. All flammable substances are surely combustible, but all combustible substances are not essentially flammable.

What group of elements are flammable in water?

Alkali metals such as sodium and potassium are known to be flammable in water. When these metals come into contact with water, they react vigorously, producing hydrogen gas which can lead to combustion or even explosions.

Which class of fire extinguisher is used for various flammable metals?

Class D Class D fire extinguishers are used for various types of flammable metals. A class D fire extinguisher can contain sodium chloride, graphite, or copper powder. A sodium chloride fire extinguisher would be used on metals containing magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sodium-potassium alloys. Copper and graphite fire extinguishers would be used for lithium and lithium alloy fires.


Is liter fluid flammable?

No. Water- a liquid- is not flammable. Which is very lucky thing for all of us.

Class A fire extinguisher is for what type of material?

Class A extinguishers are designed for "ordinary flammable materials" (organic solids such as paper and wood) but not liquids like gasoline, grease, electrical fires, or flammable metals.
