Iron bars can be smelted at a smelter by a dwarf with the furnace operating labor activated.
Hematite, magnetite and limonite ores yield iron.
From my experience you can't turn iron bars into weapons/etc. without "refined coal" (i.e. coal bars). Fortunately both kinds of coal are not restricted to being around magma; in my Rock Salt Fortress I've found nothing but rock salt (I bet you knew that already), iron ore, pidling amounts of platinum, and coal.--Draco18s 12:01, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
Iron can be turned into pig iron and then steel at the smelter.
