Characteristics of Decorative Wrought Iron

What is decorative wrought iron?

Decorative wrought iron refers to pure iron materials that have been specially treated and processed for decorative purposes. It is a highly decorative and artistic metal material that is often used to make various exquisite iron decorations and furniture. Decorative wrought iron usually uses wrought iron as the basic material. It undergoes multiple processes such as forging, grinding, and polishing to make its surface smooth and flat, and various decorative processes such as engraving, branding, and casting are added to create a A unique pattern, pattern or shape. These decorative treatments give wrought iron a more artistic appearance that can blend in with indoor or outdoor environments, adding beauty and style.

WROUGHT IRON

 

What are the differences between iron and wrought iron in iron decoration?

In iron decoration, the differences between iron and wrought iron are as follows:

Composition and characteristics:  iron contains high carbon content, many impurities, and is usually gray or black in color. Wrought iron has lower carbon content, fewer impurities, and is silvery white. Due to the different carbon content, the hardness, strength and plasticity of the two are also different.

Process difference:  iron is obtained from iron ore through high-temperature smelting.  iron has a high carbon content and flows easily during the casting process and can be used to make cast iron parts. Wrought iron is made by reprocessing pig iron to reduce the carbon content, and through forging or quenching and other processing techniques, it can obtain higher strength and toughness.

Application areas:  iron is suitable for manufacturing large castings such as cast iron doors, cast iron railings, and cast iron flower pots. The surface is usually not decorated too much. Wrought iron is more suitable for manufacturing various delicate and exquisite wrought iron decorations, such as wrought iron lighting, wrought iron furniture, wrought iron doors and windows, etc.

Appearance and style: Due to the characteristics of  iron, its surface often bears traces of casting, showing rough, uneven texture and texture. After wrought iron has been processed by

forging and other processing techniques, the surface is smoother, and it can be processed with various engravings, branding and other details, and can present a more refined and complex decorative effect. In general,  iron is used in the manufacture of large iron castings and exhibits a rough texture and appearance. Wrought iron is suitable for the manufacture of iron decorations and has higher strength, toughness and precise appearance. Different processes and characteristics make iron and wrought iron have their own characteristics and applications in the field of iron decoration.
