2. Wrought iron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrought_iron

   Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content (less than 0.05%) in contrast to that of cast iron (2.1% to 4.5%). It is a semi-fused mass of iron with fibrous slag inclusions (up to 2% by weight), which give it a wood-like "grain" that is visible when it is etched, rusted, or bent to failure.

3. Iron in folklore - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_in_folklore

   While iron is now the name of a chemical element, the traditional meaning of the word "iron" is what is now called wrought iron. In East Asia, cast iron was also common after 500 BCE, and was called "cooked iron", with wrought iron being called "raw iron" (in Europe, cast iron remained very rare until it was used for cannonballs in the 14th ...

4. Bloomery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloomery

   Iron treated this way is said to be wrought (worked), and the resulting iron, with reduced amounts of slag, is called wrought iron or bar iron. Because of the creation process, individual blooms can often have differing carbon contents between the original top and bottom surfaces, differences that will also be somewhat blended together through ...

5. Structural material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_material

   Wrought iron is the simplest form of iron, and is almost pure iron (typically less than 0.15% carbon). It usually contains some slag. Its uses are almost entirely obsolete, and it is no longer commercially produced. Wrought iron is very poor in fires. It is ductile, malleable and tough. It does not corrode as easily as steel.

6. Puddling (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puddling_(metallurgy)

   Puddling is the process of converting pig iron to bar (wrought) iron in a coal fired reverberatory furnace. It was developed in England during the 1780s. The molten pig iron was stirred in a reverberatory furnace, in an oxidizing environment to burn the carbon, resulting in wrought iron. [1]

7. Iron - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron

   Wrought iron contains less than 0.25% carbon but large amounts of slag that give it a fibrous characteristic. [134] Wrought iron is more corrosion resistant than steel. It has been almost completely replaced by mild steel, which corrodes more readily than wrought iron, but is cheaper and more widely available.
