See also: wrought-iron

wrought iron (plural wrought irons)

A tough, malleable, ductile form of iron that is forged rather than cast, suitable for welding.
- 2021 March 24, Dr. Joseph Brennan, “Metallic marvels from rail's Iron Age”, in RAIL, number 927, page 57:
  Wrought iron is essentially iron that has been worked so that its carbon content is radically reduced. For the purposes of rail bridge-building in the 19th century, this proved revolutionary, and highly advantageous over the dangerously brittle properties of cast iron.
