Abstract :Temperature is one of the process parameters that pose great challenges in iron Production Company. This study therefore focuses on the investigation of temperature effect on the mechanical properties of the produced iron. The mechanical properties studied in this research were tensile strength, hardness, Young Modulus of Elasticity and Shear modulus. The types of Iron used in this research are Wrought Iron, Pig Iron and White cast Iron respectively. The mechanical properties of these types of Iron were determined at various temperatures which ranged from 20oC to 920oC respectively. From the investigation, the optimal tensile strength of Wrought Iron, Pig Iron and White cast Iron were 1442MPa, 1340MPa and 1200MPa at temperature of 20oC, 20oC and 820oC respectively. The optimal Young Modulus of Elasticity of Wrought Iron, Pig Iron and White cast Iron are 98.2GPa, 93.1GPa and 87GPa at temperature of 20oC, 20oC and 20oC respectively. The optimal Shear Modulus of Wrought Iron, Pig Iron and White cast Iron are 77.5GPa, 74.5GPa and 65.3GPa at temperature 20oC, 272.5oC and 520.2oC respectively. The optimal Rockwell Hardness Number of Wrought Iron, Pig Iron and White cast Iron are 60, 56 and 60 at temperature of 20oC, 70oC and 570oC respectively. The results obtained shows that temperature have great effect on the mechanical properties of the iron produced in Iron manufacturing industries.
