Usage Examples English
  • Due to its high iron content, magnetite has long been a major iron ore. It is reduced in blast furnaces to pig iron or sponge iron for conversion to steel.
  • Some other common alloys that are based on iron and carbon include anthracite iron, cast iron, pig iron, and wrought iron.
  • Pig iron is an intermediate form of iron produced from iron ore.
  • Iron has become an important architectural building component. It has been used in four common forms: wrought iron, cast iron, sheet iron, and steel.
  • Nickel–iron alloys occur naturally on Earth's surface as telluric iron or meteoric iron.

  • The town sits on a rich iron deposit, and the region once produced pig iron and bar iron for farm tools and cast iron ware.
  • Iron-56 (56Fe) is the most common isotope of iron. About 91.754% of all iron is iron-56.
  • There was a profusion of cast iron foundries in New York, including Badger's Architectural Iron Works, James L. Jackson's Iron Works, and Cornell Iron Works.
  • With iron oxides and with elemental iron, lead(II,IV) oxide forms insoluble iron(II) and iron(III) plumbates, which is the basis of the anticorrosive properties of lead-based paints applied to iron objects.
  • Iron isotope variations in humans reflects a number of processes.

  • Most US iron smelting before 1850 took place near iron deposits in eastern Pennsylvania, New York, and northern New Jersey.
  • Iron oxidation pathways in both acidophilic and circumneutral freshwater iron oxidation habitats, such as acid mine drainage or groundwater iron seeps, respectively, are better understood than marine circumneutral iron oxidation.
  • Other terms used for the same tests are iron panel, iron profile, iron indices, iron status or iron studies.
  • The iron is the small appliance used to remove wrinkles from fabric. It is also known as a clothes iron, steam iron, flat iron, smoothing iron or iron box.
  • The iron ions partly precipitate to form iron (II) sulfide. Another reaction occurs between iron and water producing iron hydroxide.

  • The serum iron and total iron-binding capacity (transferrin) are helpful but not diagnostic; it is quite possible to have co-existing ineffective iron utilisation and iron deficiency, as determined by bone marrow iron status, e.g.
