I want to know what is the highest temperature that can be reached by heating iron with X–rays.

The highest temperature that can be reached by heating iron with X-rays would depend on several factors including:

the intensity and wavelength of the X-rays.

The duration of exposure.

The properties of the iron sample itself.

X-rays can heat materials by transferring energy to them through the process of photoelectric absorption, where the x-ray photons are absorbed by the atoms in the material.

The temperature t iron can reach when heated with X-rays would vary based on the experimental conditions and the amount of energy absorbed by the iron atoms. In laboratory experiments the heating of materials with X-rays has been observed to result in temperatures ranging from several hundred to several thousand degrees Celsius
