The old process for converting iron ore into iron was to use a bloom furnace and pour the the metal into large ingots. By taking the ingots and heating and pounding them and repeating the process eventually most of the impurities from the iron could be removed. The resulting iron was called wrought iron. The term now has come to mean any low carbon iron that has been formed by heating and hammering it.

∙ 11y agoWrought iron is primarily iron, which is subsequently wrought. The ironworker (blacksmith) must take care that the iron does not become overwrought in the process. And of course, it would be unwise to attempt to work with the iron if the ironworker himself is overwrought.

Pig iron and cast iron have higher carbon content than fashioned iron, however have a lower softening point than iron or steel.

Purest form of iron is?
Wrought iron is purer than pig iron. When purifying iron ore in a furnace furnace, air is passed through a "charge" of iron ore, limestone, and some form of carbon, charcoal or coal. This "smelting" process is a chemical change: the molten iron produced is tapped from the furnace as "pig" iron. Pig iron is iron with a high carbon content as well as some sulfur. Due to it's impurities pig iron has a lower melting point and is acceptable for casting but not forging. Wrought Iron is made much the same way with the exception of the carbon source being used is coke, a purified form of bituminous coal. Coke being a purer form of carbon burns smokeless and imparts little to no carbon to the iron allowing more impurities to burn out. This byproduct is wrought iron. Wrought iron is acceptable for either casting or forging.

What is the process for installing wrought iron railings?
The process for installing wrought iron railings is a few simple steps. The first step would be to measure the distance and length of the area for installing wrought iron railings. Secondly, these railings would need to put into place. These railings can normally be driven into the ground after digging out an opening in the ground with a post digger. Next, there would need to be concrete poured around the post after inserting the railing's stake. Finally, after the concrete has set, one would begin lay the fencing rails in place. After the security of the rails, one would have completed the process of installing wrought iron railings.

Which is purer wrought or pig iron?
Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."
