    Iron is the fourth most abundant element in the Earth's crust and the core of the Earth is formed mainly of iron. It is a silver-gray, malleable and magnetic metal that is found in nature within various minerals. Iron is the most produced metal worldwide and is extracted from ore through blast furnaces to be used in construction, tools, vehicles, weapons, and across many other industries due to its strength and resistance to corrosion when alloyed with carbon to form steel.
