One of the standout features of wrought iron is its workability. Skilled artisans can manipulate it into stunning shapes and intricate patterns, creating a unique blend of function and artistry. Decorative wrought iron pieces can be customized to reflect a variety of styles, including Gothic, Baroque, or even contemporary designs.
Both types of iron are highly recyclable, which adds to their sustainability. At the end of their life cycle, iron fences can be melted down and reused, reducing the need for new raw materials and minimizing waste.
“Wrought iron is forged and hammered, bent and shaped while hot”, describes Mac McCarthy of Welded Sculptures by Mac.
Finally, a “post cap” is sometimes necessary to both improve the post’s visual aesthetics while preventing debris and rainwater from entering the hollow interior. Water infiltration can quickly trigger rust to start developing inside the iron fence post. Therefore, caps provide a straightforward way to avoid the issue.
For those with a creative knack, wrought iron can be shaped into intricate designs that reflect personal style and enhance the home’s decor.
Most of these features, which used to be unique to iron, are now available in steel, which is by a large margin the superior material. And visually, the only difference between the two is the texture. Steel is smooth, while iron has a visible grain, whether it is produced by casting, or by pulling. This grain is actually caused by impurities in the iron and is what accounts for its unreliable nature. These impurities cause weak points in the iron that can lead to breakage when it’s put under stress. Steel’s smooth appearance results from the fact that these impurities have been burned out, or, in the case of carbon, evenly distributed throughout the material. When you think of the medieval blacksmith hammering away, what he is doing is distributing the carbon evenly to turn iron into steel.
