A ferro rod, also known as a fire steel or ferrocerium rod, is a fire-starting tool made from a specialized pyrophoric alloy that produces hot sparks when scraped with a striker. These sparks can ignite tinder and allow you to build a fire, even in wet or windy conditions. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Composition:
    Ferro rods are typically made from a ferrocerium alloy, which is a mix of rare-earth metals like cerium, lanthanum, and iron, along with other elements.
  • Sparks:
    The sparks produced by a ferro rod are very hot, often exceeding 3,000°C (5,500°F), making them effective for igniting tinder.

  • Advantages:
    Ferro rods are reliable, durable, and waterproof, making them a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts and survival situations.

  • Usage:
    To use a ferro rod, you need to scrape it with a striker to produce sparks and direct those sparks onto a suitable tinder bundle. 

  • How it works:
    When you scrape a ferro rod with a striker (often a knife), you remove small pieces of the alloy, which ignite upon contact with oxygen due to their pyrophoric nature.
