One can deform a bar of iron elastically i.e. after the forces on the bar are removed , the iron bar will move back into its original, non deformed shape. You can already guess that there is a limit to elastically loading such an iron bar. Too large a force will deform the bar plastically or, in simpler words, forever. Back to flexible. I understand your question is about elasticity and iron has it to a limit.

What is the difference between soft and hard iron?
The essential difference between soft iron and hard iron is in the crystalline structure of the metals. This is sometimes due to the presence of impurities, but the over-riding effect is that of heat treatment. The basic techniques (for iron) are to get it white-hot, then cool it slowly; this produces soft iron. Alternatively, get it dull red, or bright red, or yellow, or white, then plunge it into cold liquid. This process, called quenching, hardens the iron. Picking the correct colour before quenching gives just the hardness needed.
Is soft iron magnetic?
Yes, soft iron is magnetic. Soft iron has high magnetic permeability, which means it can easily generate a magnetic field when exposed to an external magnetic field. However, soft iron loses its magnetism once the external magnetic field is removed.
How can you convert a soft iron into a magnet?
You can convert a soft iron into a magnet by placing it within a magnetic field, such as that produced by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. By aligning the magnetic domains in the soft iron to match the external magnetic field, the soft iron becomes magnetized.
What three ways can you magnetize soft iron?
By stroking the iron with a magnet in one direction. By placing the iron in a magnetic field produced by a current-carrying coil. By hammering or hitting the iron while it is in a magnetic field.
How the strength of magnetic field increases when inserting a soft iron core in the solenoid?
The strength of the magnetic field increases when inserting a soft iron core into a solenoid because the soft iron core is easily magnetized by the current flowing through the solenoid. This creates alignment of the magnetic domains in the soft iron core, enhancing the magnetic field strength within the core and around the solenoid. Soft iron has high magnetic permeability, which concentrates the magnetic field lines and increases the overall magnetic field strength.
Is iron hard or soft?
it depends on what state it's in(:
How does soft iorn is different from hard iron?
That depends on what you mean - soft iron is usually the name given to iron that is easily magnetised and demagnetised. In which case it is usually very pure. Mecahnically soft and hard irons have different crystal structures and trace impurities, although iron is more correctly known as steel when it is anything but 100% pure iron.
Is zinc soft?
Zinc is considered a hard metal; its hardness is similar to that of Iron.
Can soft iron be made from hard iron?
Iron that has some carbon is cooled very rapidly from about 1300 degrees F. to close to room temperature . The carbon atoms get in the way of the iron atoms as they form a lattice work in the cooling steel. that makes the steel very hard but very brittle. The the next step is to reheat the iron to about 440 degrees F. that way you get a reasonably hard iron that won't break when you need to use it.
What is soft iron hardness?
Pure iron is relatively soft and easily worked (malleable). Iron heated to high temperatures and alloyed with carbon and other elements is called steel, which can be made extremely hard and durable, but not easily worked.
Are alkali earth metals hard or soft?
Alkali earth metals are relatively soft compared to transition metals, like iron or copper. They can be cut with a knife due to their low hardness.
Why is soft material is preferred to make electomagnet than hard?
I assume you mean "soft iron" ... so that it quickly loses its magnetism when the current flow stops.
How do you distinguish between soft and hard metals sodium and iron?
Sodium is a soft metal that can be cut with a knife and has a low melting point, while iron is a hard metal that cannot be cut easily and has a higher melting point. Additionally, sodium is highly reactive with water, while iron is relatively less reactive.

What softwoods are hard?
All woods are hard but depending what your description what of hard is like rock can be really soft compared to iron and wool can be harder than a polyester fleece throw
Is brown soft or hard?
Hard
Is gold considered a soft metal or hard metal?
Gold is considered a relatively soft metal. It has a Mohs hardness of about 2.5 to 3, which means it can be scratched easily compared to harder metals like iron or steel.
