Homestead Strike
Benjamin Franklin did not invent the iron furnace, but he did improve upon existing designs. In 1742, he developed a more efficient iron stove called the Franklin stove, which allowed for better heating with less fuel consumption. However, the first iron furnaces had already been in use for hundreds of years before Franklin's time.

"Strike while the iron is hot" is an idiom that means to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself, rather than waiting. The phrase originates from blacksmithing, where iron is easier to shape and mold when it's hot. It emphasizes the importance of acting promptly and decisively to capitalize on favorable conditions.

Workers at the Carnegie Steel Company went on strike to protest low wages, long hours, dangerous working conditions, and the company's refusal to recognize their union, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. The strike eventually culminated in the violent Homestead Strike of 1892.
I think you are going for a change from active to passive voice, but I don't think the example hits the mark. Maybe it's just a mixed metaphor."Strike while the iron is hot" has its origin, I think, in the act of forging metal (iron) into some useful shape while it is molten or at least hot enough to be malleable (able to be shaped with a hammer). So the saying has the form "you strike the iron" in the active voice."Strike the iron while it's hard" suggests that the iron, now hard, is going to be used to strike against something else. "Strike the iron" could mean to take the hard iron and use it to strike something, but that sounds awkward. More likely it means to take something and strike it against the immobile iron. In any event, the structure would still be "you strike the iron", with no change in subject and object. Both sayings are imperatives, commands. Even with "You make it so the iron is struck", the speaker is speaking in the active voice. How is this? "You are ordered to strike the iron while it is hard."Please let me know if I have misunderstood.
Strike while the iron is hot! The union workers are on strike for better wages.
Iron and steel workers went on strike primarily to protest poor working conditions, low wages, and long hours. They also sought better benefits, safety measures, and improved job security. Strikes were often used as a means to push for collective bargaining rights and fair treatment from employers.
This is a blacksmithing idiom - you strike while the iron is hot so that you can make whatever the blacksmith is making. If the iron cools off, you can't make anything out of it because it's too hard and stiff.
At standard conditions, iron is a solid.
