Liquid iron

Liquid iron refers to iron in its molten state, typically at extremely high temperatures above 1,500°C (2,732°F). It is a dense, conductive metal used in processes like steelmaking or in scientific research to study its properties under extreme conditions. In nature, liquid iron exists in the Earth's outer core, where it flows slowly, generating Earth's magnetic field. Its liquid state allows it to move and flow freely, which is essential in both industrial applications and geological processes.
