There are several methods or processes of making iron - smelting, wrought iron, cast iron and so on, which have evolved over many years.
The process that transforms iron into steel is called "steelmaking."
The Nok used a type of bloomery furnace to smelt iron ore. This involved heating the ore and charcoal in a furnace to high temperatures. The iron would separate from the ore and form a spongy mass called a bloom, which could then be forged into tools.
The chemical weathering process caused by oxygen and water acting on iron is called oxidation. This process results in the formation of iron oxide, commonly known as rust.
No, the process of removing iron from ore is called extracting or refining. Smelting is a different process that involves heating the ore to extract metal from it.
The process is called smelting. It involves heating the iron ore in a furnace with a reducing agent such as coke (carbon) to remove the impurities and extract the pure iron metal.

Iron is extracted with a magnet.

In this process, iron is the reactant undergoing oxidation, while oxygen is the reactant driving the oxidation reaction that causes iron to rust.
Iron rusts due to a chemical process called oxidation, where iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water to form iron oxide, commonly known as rust.
Heating iron ore to a high temperature in a blast furnace allows the iron to be extracted from the ore through a chemical process called reduction. This process removes impurities and creates molten iron, which can then be used to make various iron and steel products.
The process is called rusting, iron oxidation.
The process of depositing a layer of zinc over iron is called galvanization. It helps protect the iron from corrosion by acting as a sacrificial anode, as zinc is more reactive than iron. This process is commonly used to create galvanized steel.
This is an oxydation reaction.
