The microstructure of wrought iron, showing the “grain”. Mike Meier (m610) [CC-BY-SA-3.0].The result in the case of wrought iron is an extremely pure and malleable iron, with inclusions of furnace slag that the working process has formed out into an almost fibrous grain-like structure. This removes the brittleness of pig iron or cast iron, and makes it a much stronger and more elastic substance. It is much softer than steel, indeed if you are used to the hefty blows required for steel forging it is something of a shock to find just how soft it is on the anvil. I have only ever worked it once, my dad had a piece as part of a heritage restoration job, and we tried working it for curiosity’s sake. “Like hammering butter” is how I’d describe it, after working mild steel.
