Wrought iron is a decorative iron product commonly used for ornamental assemblies. Wrought iron is a term used to refer to an alloy that is no longer produced but was preferred by blacksmiths when forging. Genuine wrought iron is not readily available for forge work; pure iron is often used to replace wrought iron in restoration work. Otherwise, simple wrought iron is usually salvaged from old bridges and structures. Present-day wrought iron is manufactured with a combination of cast and forged components.
