The property of iron that allows flattening of iron pieces when hammered is called malleability. Due to this property, when a force is used like that on iron, the molecules spread out taking the force. Then they move to sides and so the metallic piece spreads and flattens.

When a blacksmith hammers a hot piece of iron, he uses his muscular force, which changes the shape of the iron, so that it can be given a desired shape.
