It depends on the situation and the type of iron it is. The other things mixed with the iron, such as carbon, oxygen and other trace metals and minerals can have a big effect on whether it will bend.

Cast iron tends to be fairly brittle and doesn't bend well. But if you heat it, it bends fairly easily. Other types of iron can be bent and curved with a little bit of effort.

What way does a bimetallic strip bend with iron and brass?

When heated, a bimetallic strip made of iron and brass will bend towards the brass side due to the different coefficients of thermal expansion of the two metals. This is because brass expands more than iron when heated, causing the strip to curve towards the side with greater expansion.

When a bimetallic bar made of copper and iron is heated bar bends toward iron?

This is because copper expands more than iron when heated, causing the side with copper to elongate and bend towards the iron side. This phenomenon is known as thermal expansion and is utilized in devices like thermostats to control temperature.
