This is a tough question to answer due to my lack of knowledge about future materials. The scientists and engineers of the future may very well procure a material that's stronger, cheaper, and more efficiently made than iron and all of its variants, thus making large scale use of iron obsolete. There's no way to know to know whether such a material can be made yet. However, even if the use of Iron is eliminated in large construction projects, I see no reason for why we wouldn't use it. Iron rendered materials such as wood and stone obsolete for large building projects, but that doesn't mean we stopped using wood and stone. I believe that in a theoretical future world, where there is a super-strong material that has knocked down the hegemony of iron, iron will still find a niche to slip into.
(additional answer) Also remember that in addition to its strength, iron, or various alloys of iron, are also very useful for making magnets. Iron is also an essential nutrient which performs a role in the transport of oxygen in the body. Even if iron were to become obsolete for all other uses, we would still need to have a certain amount of it in our diets. So I would say that iron will be used in the future, at least as long as the human race continues to exist.
What else can I help you with?
What common alloy is used to make magnets?
Iron is used for electromagnets.
Which metal is used in clinical thermometer?
Mercury is used in clinical thermometers.
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 types of iron is there?
pig iron, wrought iron and cast iron. These are broad classifications used commercially, they can be subclassified. Chemically we say that its pure or impure, contains sulphur/phosphorous/impurities(slag, etc.)/carbon in so and so % range
Why would iron be used on a magnet rather than steel?
because pure iron have not carbon, that disrupt the magnetic field.
When will Iron run out?
Iron is not expected to run out anytime soon, as it is one of the most abundant elements on Earth. There are extensive iron reserves in the Earth's crust that can be extracted through mining. However, the rate at which iron is being extracted and used may have environmental and economic implications in the future.
Where in wizard 101 do you find the iron golem pet?
Iron golem can not be dropped or nor can be mixed with other pets to create it. But it used to be a pet until it was removed. So you might just find it in the future.
