The pure metal is very reactive chemically and rapidly corrodes, especially in moist air or at elevated temperatures. It has four allotropic forms or ferrites, known as alpha, beta, gamma, and omega, with transition points at 700, 928, and 1530C.
Iron is hard, brittle, fairly fusible, and is used to produce other alloys, including steel.
Melting point: 1538 °C Boiling point: 2861 °C
A sputtering target is a disc of a high purity material used as an atomic sputtering source for ion beam bombardment. Please contact us if your required sputtertarget size and/ or purity are not listed.
