Wrought iron is a type of iron alloy that is known for its malleability, ductility, and resistance to corrosion. It typically contains a very low carbon content (less than 0.08%) and is characterized by its fibrous texture, which is a result of the manufacturing process that involves heating and working the iron to shape it. Historically, wrought iron was produced by heating iron ore in a forge and then hammering or rolling it to remove impurities and shape it.
