Station Smelter

Iron Ingot is a smithing material in Skyrim, made at a smelter. A single Iron Ore smelts into one ingot, the only one for one trade in the game and the reason iron stays cheap at every level.

Uses

Every piece of iron armour and every iron weapon begins here, and one iron ingot also goes into each Steel Ingot, so the demand for it never really stops.

Tempering consumes one ingot per item improved, so keeping a stock matters as much as having enough to forge with in the first place. Smelting grants no Smithing experience; only forging and tempering do.

Smelting

The recipe at any smelter.
