ironworks
Are these sentences correct? I learned the word "ironworks" for the first time, so I'd like to learn how to use it in sentences.
He works at (an) ironworks.
He runs ironworks. He owns it/them.
He is an ironworker.
Thank you.

In the US today the word "ironworker" generally means a member of the Ironworkers Union, whose members install the reinforcing bars used in reinforced concrete construction. The word "ironworks," meaning a company that produces or stocks steel construction products, is out-of-date and is generally not used today. The word used today would typically be something like: steel supplier or steel distributor.

The present term is a steel mill. I seldom hear the term "ironworks."
An ironworker is someone who builds the steel framework of skyscrapers or bridges.
