There are differences in their chemical composition, but the primary difference between cast iron and wrought iron is in how they’re produced: cast iron is iron that’s been melted, poured into a mold (i.e. a “cast”), and allowed to solidify into its current shape. Wrought iron, on the other hand, is iron that’s been heated and hammered with tools (i.e. “wrought,” the archaic past tense of “work”) to form it into a precise shape.
