Why Does Solid Iron Float on Mol ton Iron
A London Lyon Institute paper explains that a solid metal initially sinks as its volume is less than the molten metal. Heating then expands the solid piece, causing it to rise to the surface and float. The same effect occurs with iron and steel, as demonstrated by repeated experiments showing the metal emerging above the surface before rejoining the melt.
