What are some uses of iron?

Answer 1

One of the most easily observed uses for iron is as wrought iron, such as the iron work in railings, benches, garden gates, and so on. Cast iron is also used in a number of applications due to its excellent thermal conductivity - particularly in grills, hobs, skillets, etc.

However, it is the making of steel that is the most common use for iron.

Steel alloys use a small percentage of carbon (and often other metals, such as manganese or vanadium) in order to enhance the properties of iron that are desirable for various uses. Steel is used in myriad building and construction applications, from the steel used in the structure of a typical modern office block, to the sub-frame of a motor vehicle, and even in the pots and utensils found in most kitchens. Steel alloys can be harder, less susceptible to rust, or lighter than iron, while generally maintaining the excellent strength and conductivity of iron.

Your body uses iron as the key component in haemoglobin which facilitates the transportation of oxygen throughout your body via the blood (it is, in fact, what makes oxygenated blood look red). As all mammals and a large number of other forms of animal life utilise this same method for transporting oxygen in their blood, it could be argued that this is the most common use!

Answer 2

Iron is commonly used in the production of steel, which is used in construction, vehicles, and machinery. Iron is also used in the manufacturing of tools, cookware, and various industrial equipment. In the body, iron is essential for the production of red blood cells and oxygen transport.

Answer 3

Iron is vital to plant and animal life. In humans, it appears in the hemoglobin molecule.And therefore iron is one of the things in our body Iron is vital to plant and animal life. In humans, it appears in the hemoglobin molecule.And therefore iron is one of the things in our body

Answer 4

Iron is useful in our society today because iron is virtually used in everything : building ( bridge , highway , rail road , etc.) , transportation (car , train , boats , plane , etc.) , tools (knife , machines , etc.)

Answer 5

Important uses of iron include producing steel. ( The machine blades in a steel mill are partially steel as well as other metals, so steel itself.) Hemoglobin(helps blood pass through your body) and weights are also important uses for steel. :)

Answer 6

Iron has many uses being, the most common metal in today's society.

• Making cars, trucks, and vans
• Making steel
• Making building supports
• Making airplanes
• Making Warships (Picture From The Front Page Is A Destroyer)
• Making Ships (Fishing & Trade)
• Making office supplies (staples, nails, paper clips)
• Making computers
• Making furniture
  

Answer 7

Iron (Fe) is used primarily for the manufacture of steel, cast iron and has innumerable other metallurgic uses.

Various compounds of Iron are used medically to fight anemia in humans and animals. Some are used as a feed supplements in animal feedlots.

Other compounds of Iron are used in the manufacture of pigments.

Answer 8

iron is present in the haemoglobin of the blood that gives the red colour to it. other uses of the iron are for making machines,factories,etc

Answer 9

iron is a metal and we can use it in window and in other things also.
