When a piece of iron is heated to red-hot or above, then the bonds between the molecules have been lengthened, and the relationship of these bonds to each other may be altered permanently. When the iron cools, the new molecular arrangement becomes set.

You may experiment in a similar manner, with a piece of modelling clay. It will respond in a manner representative of hot iron.
