Wrought Iron

Wrought iron is a type of iron known for its ductility, corrosion resistance, and attractive appearance, traditionally produced by manually heating and hammering iron to shape it. It contains very low carbon content, making it softer and more malleable than cast iron. Historically used in decorative architecture, fences, and tools, wrought iron is valued for its strength, durability, and ability to be intricately worked. Modern products labeled as wrought iron often contain steel with similar qualities, but genuine wrought iron remains prized for its classic aesthetic and craftsmanship.
