An iron pot is usually made from cast iron which has about 4% Carbon and 1% or so of Silicon. The handle will usually be of mild steel, though it could be cast as well. Cast iron is used in preference to mild steel because of its corrosion resistance, and particularly to heat corrosion or de-lamination corrosion.
The lid of a 'traditional = Victorian era' pot would be made of tin-plated mild steel, because of weight considerations, as the lid is often lifted during cooking process. Tin-plated because that was an easily available material of the day, and is very corrosion resistant. For a smaller pot, the lid may also be cast.
A modern cast iron object will be enameled - a hard glaze that is wear resistant, and may be easily colored.
Cast iron is fairly easily melted using charcoal fire as the heat source, and will flow easily into a quite thin mold.

What 2 substances contain iron?
No elements are made up of a compound. I think you mean 'Which elements make up iron oxide?', and the answer to that is iron and oxygen.

An example of conduction convection and radiation working together?
a boiling pot because the stove radiates heat to warm the pot. the pot is touching the stove which is conduction. last when the pot is heated and boiling the steam is a form of convection. conduction could also be ice melting on a hot surface>
What is the name of the tool that can pick up iron from sand?
A magnet can pick up tiny iron particles that are in sand.
When was iron first used by people?
Well the Darby's of coalbrookdale were responsible in England for iron. They first came up with coke (iron without the sulphur) in 1700. But the materials used to make coke was running out (e.g. wood etc.) so then they came up with the idea of iron in the 18th century. This was then used for iron structures, such as iron bridges and ships like the HSM Warrior. Hope this helps :D
What substances make up iron pot?
An iron pot is typically made up of primarily iron metal. Some pots may also contain small amounts of other metals, such as carbon or silicon, to provide specific properties like strength and heat resistance. Additionally, some iron pots may have a coating of enamel or other materials on the surface for protection and easy cleaning.
What makes up iron pot?
metal and iron :)
What substances make up of iron pot?
Iron pots are typically made of cast iron, which is an alloy of iron and carbon. The carbon content can vary but is usually around 2-4%. Cast iron pots may also contain small amounts of other elements such as silicon, manganese, sulfur, and phosphorus to improve their properties.

What substances are in iron?
Iron is an element..it is made up of subatomic particles.
What will heat faster a copper pot or iron pot?
Copper heats up faster than iron due to its higher thermal conductivity. This means that a copper pot will reach a higher temperature more quickly when exposed to heat compared to an iron pot.
What substane makes up an iron pot?
An iron pot is typically made of iron, which is a chemical element with the symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. Iron is a metal with a number of useful properties, including strength and heat conduction, which make it a popular material for cooking utensils like pots and pans.

Does paper have a large amount of iron in it?
Yes - if you can pick it up with a magnet, it has iron in it. That is why they call substances you can pick up with a magnet "ferromagnetic" - ferrous (the ferro part of ferromagnetic) is Latin meaning (roughly) "of iron", or "containing iron".
What elements make up iron sulphide?
iron and sulfur
What 3 things do you heat up to make iron?

What substances make up xenon?
None. Xenon is an element and so is not made up from any substances.
