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.
Wrought iron is a soft, ductile, fibrous variety that is produced from a semifused mass of relatively pure iron globules partially surrounded by slag. It usually contains less than 0.1 percent carbon and 1 or 2 percent slag.
Wrought iron is formed from repeatedly heating cast iron. This process gives wrought iron its laminar structure, making it a costly material. It has a far higher tensile strength and is more ductile than cast iron. Instead of pure iron, engineers use wrought iron to protect against rust.
10 Οκτ 2019 · Wrought iron is composed of iron and up to 2% of the byproducts of smelted iron – also known as “slag.” The term slag refers to the glass-like material that is produced when iron separates from iron ore at high temperatures.
Wrought iron was usually made by smelting pig iron and oxidising it with iron oxide in a puddling furnace. Wrought-iron elements generally are simple in form and uniform in appearance, and contain evidence of rolling or hand working.
5 Ιαν 2024 · Examples of items that used to be produced from wrought iron include: rivets, chains, railway couplings, water and steam pipes, raw material for manufacturing of steel, nuts bolts, horse shoe bars, handrails, straps for timber roof trusses, boiler tubes, and ornamental ironwork.
Wrought iron is a nearly obsolete type of iron that has been worked by hammering, bending, and shaping while it is in a heated, malleable state. It is characterized by its fibrous appearance, which is a result of the distinctive grain structure formed during the forging process.
