heyy!!!
A lot of heat is needed to start the reaction, but then it releases an incredible amount of heat, enough to melt the iron. Because aluminium is more reactive than iron, it displaces iron from iron(III) oxide. The aluminium removes oxygen from the iron(III) oxide: ... aluminium is oxidised

The reaction is: iron(III) oxide + aluminium → aluminium oxide + iron. This shows that aluminium is above iron in the reactivity series. Once underway, the reaction is highly exothermic, rapidly reaching temperatures as high as 2000 °C, well in excess of the melting point of iron (1535 °C).
