What are the uses of iron ore?
Iron Ore is an Iron Compound. Iron ore is usually used to make pig iron(metallic iron), cast iron, corrugated iron structural sheeting, and wrought iron.
What element is used to make brightly colored paints?
IRON
What is iron hydroxide used for?
Nickel-Iron battery
Which type of rock is used to make the Eiffel tower?
The Eiffel Tower was made of steel, not rock.
Is iron oxide used in magnets?
Yes, we can see the use of iron oxide (the Fe2O3 kind, which is iron (III) oxide) used in magnets. There are a number of different things that could be used in a magnet, but simply using this material, often referred to as ferrite, and a little bit of some other materials to make up the ferrite, will allow for the construction of a magnet.

What can you get from Iron?
Nothing, Iron is a pure substance, an element. However, it can be used to make many things, form nails, to pokers, to bridges.
How did the bessemer process make suspentioins bridges possible?
The process removed the impurities from the iron creating steel. Therefore steel could be used to make bridges, buildings, and other things.
Why is iron used to construct bridges and houses?
Iron is not used to build houses, but iron is used in other things because it is strong.
What were stone bridges used for?
Stone bridges were built to get over rivers etc, before iron or steel was used.
What is Primary ore of iron used to produce iron for steel for automobiles tools and bridges?
hemalite
What is primary ore of iron used to produce iron from steel for automobiles tools and bridges?
hemalite
What is Cast Iron Used For?
It is used for producing cast iron cannons, bridges and Cast iron collums.
Why can iron be used to make steel which the be used to build bridges but silicon cannot be used for this process?
Silicon is not a rigid substance and while it has many great uses, things that require rigidity is not one of them.
What was wrong with iron bridges?
There is nothing inherently wrong with iron as a bridging material, just as there is nothing inherently wrong with virtually anything used to make a bridge, not excluding fiber ropes and wood used by the Incas. Cast iron was plentiful and easy to work and was used in many types of bridges from the 18th well into the 19th Centuries. Some beautifully crafted iron bridges are still in use today. Technically, steel is just iron with more of the impurities removed. Steel has greater tensile strength (resistance to breakage) than iron but until the Bessemer process was invented in the mid-19th Century it was harder to make, so iron was the material of choice. Iron and steel do rust, but paint helps to resist weathering, and any material exposed to weather will eventually deteriorate unless maintained.
