Time is not important for iron to melt, but temperature is important.
The melting temperature of iron is about 1500 degrees.

The melting point of iron is 1,537.85 degrees Celsius.
You must heat it to a higher temperature before it melts.

The melting point of iron is more than 1,500 degrees, but pure iron melts more easily at room temperature than expected.
Iron was available thousands of years ago, but the reason why railroads were in full swing in the 1920s was that pure iron melts at room temperature, so the railroads didn't work properly.
After making iron alloys, this problem was solved and the railroad was built in earnest, and the railroad era opened up.
