Iron is a metal in group VIII of the periodic table with atomic number 26, an atomic weight of 55.85, and a density of 7.86. It has a melting point of 1539 C.

The table shows the melting point and density of iron, compared to three non-transition metals. Iron, a transition metal, has a higher melting point and a higher density than the non-transition ...

The paper, by Simone Anzellini at French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) in Arpajon, France, and colleagues was titled, "Melting of Iron at Earth's Inner Core Boundary ...

Their findings, published in Physical Review Letters, shed new light on the melting curve and structural phase of iron under extreme conditions. "The goal of this study was to explore the ...

Pure iron can have two different crystal structures as its temperature is increased from room temperature to its melting point. At room temperature it is body-centered cubic, between 912 and 1394 C if ...

metals do not contain iron and are not magnetic ... and other metals such as copper or bismuth, it has a low melting point (approximately 200°C), often used to make jewellery, candlesticks ...

Recent studies have employed numerical simulations to investigate the melting kinetics of steel scrap in iron-carbon baths. One study developed a theoretical model that analyzed how factors like ...

Earth’s inner core is shifting, slowing, and reshaping. Scientists study its impact on magnetic fields, pole movement, and ...
