Iron - Iron (pronounced /ˈаɪ.É™rn/) is a chemical element with the symbol Fe ( Latin: ferrum) and atomic
number 26. Iron is a group 8 and period 4 element. Iron and iron alloys ( steels) are by far the most common
metals and the most common ferromagnetic materials in everyday use. Fresh iron surfaces are lustrous and
silvery-grey in color, but oxidise in air to form a red or brown coating of ferrous oxide or rust. Compared with steel
which has a hardness of about 140 Brinell, pure iron is soft, about 80 Brinell. Iron-56 is the second heaviest stable
isotope produced by the alpha process in stellar nucleosynthesis, the heaviest being nickel-62; heavier elements
require a supernova for their formation. Iron is the most abundant element in the core of red giants, and is the
most abundant metal in iron meteorites and in the dense metal cores of planets such as Earth. Pure iron is a
metal but is rarely found in this form on the surface of the earth because.... 

Rust (color) - Rust is a red-orange color resembling iron oxide. It is a commonly used color in stage lighting, and
appears roughly the same color as photographic safelights when used over a standard tungsten light source. The

Question : I sometimes leave water in my iron after I am done ironing, however, I do turn it off before unplugging
it ( I heard somewhere that it helps to prevent the rust from appearing). Now I have rust marks around the steam
holes. How do I get rid of it before it damages my white clothes?

Answer : in australia we have a product called c.l.r(stands for calcium lime and rust)you just wipe it over those
stains and it just disappears

Question : I noticed some family, including my family, using iron wok to cook. Sometimes the wok is rusting, but
they still using it. Now, will the iron rust is a poison to our body?

Answer : Your body needs a certain amount of iron. Iron fortified cereals actually have small iron filings in them.
You get some iron from using iron pans in cooking...whether its rusty or not. If it bugs you to see the rust, scrub
the wok well to remove the rust, and then rub a little cooking oil on it to prevent new rust between uses.

Question : While metal detecting, we found some rusted artifacts and we think they are iron Is there a visual way
to tell if it is iron or steel? Someone told me that iron rust clumps and sort of 'grows' around the metal but steel
more or less disintegrates. Is this correct? Or, is there a way to chemically determine iron vs. steel with stuff
around the home? If you are curious, we live on a mountain that used to be owned by a mining company from the

Question : Me and my lab partner picked which coating helps prevent rust the best for us to get results we there
to be results so any ideas on how to create the best conditions to promote rust?

Answer : Increase the surface area of the steel e.g. filings and ensure the is sufficient air (Oxygen) and moisture.
The biggest impact for rust production will be the surface area. Another way to accelerate rusting is to connect the
steel to another metal and cause sacraficial corrosion of the steel. Normally this would be done the other way
around attaching a metal eg Magnesium or Zinc to cause them to sacrificially corrode thus protecting the steel.

beauty i would like to use it for hunting and fishing. It is stainless steel.

Rust has already damaged the blade, and I doubt you can do much more harm with carbonation, citric acid,
coloring and fructose. No offense but STAINLESS must have been subjected to the most extreme conditions on

in a press, or leave it round and put some rubbers on it to grip with.

Question : how does steel wool get started someone please help me

Answer : Rust happens when oxygen mixes with iron. Water amplifies rust, so a steel wool scubber that is moist
will get rustier quiker. The process of iron turning into rust is called oxidiation. You can't just continue to scub the
rust off because during a chemical reaction the oxygen combined with the steel. The steel is actually transformed
into rust, rust isn't like a mold that grows on it. When you scrub it the iron or steel will actually go away. My advice:
get a new scrubber
