Abstract
Man has been long associated with iron. Evidence shows that iron was used in Egypt and Mesopotamia in 3000 to 4000 B.C. The oldest Testament, probably written in about 400 B.C., contains references to iron. Ferrous metals have been indispensable materials for the life of people and will assume ever increasing importance in the future.
