Wrought:

1. (of metals) beaten out or shaped by hammering.

2.made or fashioned in the specified way..

Wrought iron:

a tough malleable form of iron suitable for forging or rolling rather than casting, obtained by puddling pig iron while molten. It is nearly pure but contains some slag in the form of filaments

Wrought iron normally is heated in a forge ( with fire) and worked with tools on the anvil.

Wrought iron is an alloy with very little carbon content.

Mild steel is named for its low carbon content, which makes it malleable, ductile, and less brittle. These properties allow for easy processing, such as rolling, forging, and welding.

The word ‘ferrous’ comes from the Latin word ‘ferrum,’ which means ‘iron. ‘ Ferrous metals include as well alloys of iron with other metals (such as with stainless steel).

Properties of Ferrous Metals

Ferrous metals may include a lot of different alloying elements. Some examples are chromium, molybdenum, vanadium, and manganese. Those give ferrous steels material properties that make them widely used in engineering and wrought iron work.
