Iron element and iron products

Iron is a chemical element and the most abundant heavy metal on Earth, forming the foundation of the modern metals industry. With the symbol Fe (from Latin ferrum) and atomic number 26, it is a lustrous, silvery-grey transition metal belonging to Group 8 of the periodic table. Iron is the primary raw material for steel production and, through its alloys, underpins virtually all of industrial civilisation — from construction and transportation to machinery, energy infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing.
