Key Points

Investigate the influence of combining iron processing waste as fine aggregate replacement with dynamically prepared magnetized water on the fresh, mechanical, durability, and microstructural properties of concrete.
Designed concrete mixes with iron waste replacing fine aggregate at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% levels.
Prepared magnetized water using 50, 100, 150, and 200 dynamic cycles at magnetic field intensities of 1.4 T and 1.6 T as a complete replacement for tap water.
Assessed workability, compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength, durability through sorptivity testing, and microstructure via SEM, EDX, and XRD.
Concrete workability increased by up to 338% when incorporating iron waste at replacement levels of 20% to 40% with tap water.
Compressive strength improved by 22% using 10% iron waste with magnetized water prepared at 150 cycles.
Combining 20% iron waste with magnetized water at 150 cycles enhanced splitting tensile strength by 37% and flexural strength by 7% at 28 days, producing a denser matrix with reduced microcracks and pores.
