Abstract Electron screening has strong effects on electron energy and threshold energy of the beta decay reaction. In this paper, we study β− decay rates of some iron isotopes. The beta decay rates increase by about two orders of magnitude due to electron screening. Strongly screened beta decay rates due to Q-value correction are more than one order of magnitude higher than those without Q-value correction.
