An advantage of its low carbon content is its excellent weldability. Furthermore, sheet wrought iron cannot bend as much as steel sheet metal (when cold worked).
Moreover, can wrought iron be bent?
Wrought iron is unlike cast, in that it is not brittle, and will bend rather than break. Telling wrought iron from mild steel is often more difficult for the layman, as both will bend, and not break Frequently, however, work in mild steel is readily identified by the lower standards of workmanship often used.
Considering this, at what temperature can you bend steel?
When forming heavy plate to tight bend radii, you may need to preheat the material between 200 and 300 degrees F before bending, particularly if you are trying to bend thicknesses 0.75 in. or greater. For the best results, be sure to heat the material uniformly.
Con – Expensive Wrought iron, because of its material and the difficulty involved in producing it, is more expensive than wood and vinyl fencing. Additionally, one may find it slightly more expensive to install it as well, especially if the design of the wrought iron is custom made.
