Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon (less than 0.08%) content in contrast to cast iron (2.1% to 4%). It has fibrous inclusions known as slag up to 2% by weight. It is a semi-fused mass of iron with slag inclusions which gives it a "grain" resembling wood, that is visible when it is etched or bent to the point of failure. Wrought iron is tough, malleable, ductile, corrosion-resistant and easily welded. Before the development of effective methods of steelmaking and the availability of large quantities of steel, wrought iron was the most common form of malleable iron.
A modest amount of wrought iron was used as a raw material for refining into steel, which was used mainly to produce swords, cutlery, chisels, axes and other edged tools as well as springs and files. The demand for wrought iron reached its peak in the 1860s with the adaptation of ironclad warships and railways. However, as properties such as brittleness of mild steel improved, it became less costly and more widely available than wrought iron, whose usage then declined.
Iron is a chemical element with symbol Fe (from Latin: ferrum) and atomic number 26. It is a metal in the first transition series. It is by mass the most common element on Earth, forming much of Earth's outer and inner core. It is the fourth most common element in the Earth's crust. Its abundance in rocky planets like Earth is due to its abundant production by fusion in high-mass stars, where the production of nickel-56 (which decays to the most common isotope of iron) is the last nuclear fusion reaction that is exothermic. Consequently, radioactive nickel is the last element to be produced before the violent collapse of a supernova scatters precursor radionuclide of iron into space.
Like other group 8 elements, iron exists in a wide range of oxidation states, −2 to +6, although +2 and +3 are the most common. Elemental iron occurs in meteoroids and other low oxygen environments, but is reactive to oxygen and water. Fresh iron surfaces appear lustrous silvery-gray, but oxidize in normal air to give hydrated iron oxides, commonly known as rust. Unlike many other metals which form passivating oxide layers, iron oxides occupy more volume than the metal and thus flake off, exposing fresh surfaces for corrosion.

This video shows techniques for refining wrought iron as well as carburizing the iron and how to turn it into shear steel. To round it off, I make a san-mai construction knife to show off the results that can be achieved by these techniques. Forge diaries are rough and unpolished videos that show some of the work I do at the forge. These short episodes capture various random activities including failed experiments and small tips and tricks. They allow me to publish status updates while I am working on larger projects.

We recycle history by turning antique wagon wheels into a heirloom blade. This video shows the whole process from preparing the wrought iron to the finished knife. First, the wagon tire is forged and prepared for melting in the crucible. A crucible steel bar is forged from the ingot and then turned into a powerful blade. Finally, everything is put together and you can marvel at the carbide grain structure of the blade.

Description This is the latest of 3 iron ore smelts that we have done at Tunnel Mill (www.tunnelmillcrafts.com). It is a more or less sequential record of how this smelt proceeded, but it isn't exactly a "how-to" lesson. Here are some useful links for anyone interested in trying one of these smelts: Our 2012 Smelt: http://www.spaco.org/Blacksmithing/TMSmelt2012/TunnelMillSmelt2012.htm Our task list for a smelt is here: www.spaco.org/Blacksmithing/TMS-Smelt/SmeltGanntChartTasks.xlsx Post smelt notes for this 2015 smelt are here: www.spaco.org/Blacksmithing/TMS-Smelt/smelt 2015 post smelt notes.doc Randy Purchase's Neat photo essay is here: www.spaco.org/Blacksmithing/TMS-Smelt/RandyPurchaseReport.doc Lee Sauder's website: www.leesauder.com

One of my anvils has undergone quite a clean up! Edges were chipped, the face had swayback. It only had 1 hardie hole! Not anymore now! Refflinghaus has taken great care of this anvil!
Since i forgot to highlight the recipe: 4 wrought iron, 3 invar, 1 chromium, 1 manganese
I make my way back to my dwelling, where I turn a lot of the Raw Iron I have found into Wrought Iron - the first step in turning it into Iron Ingots. I now have to figure out how to do the second step. Notably I wanted to build a Solar Still in this episode, but I forgot the Limestone needed for it. Whoops....
Listen to the sounds of the historic French Quarter that Walt Disney recreated in Disneyland. Sit back, relax and enjoy the music that fills the picturesque courtyards and lacy wrought-iron balconies with the swing of jazz bands. The only thing missing in this music loop is the smell of down-home cooking. Find more Disney music, history, videos and more now at www.disneyavenue.com.
