Wrought iron is another durable member of the ferrous metals family.
Wrought iron is an alloy with very little carbon content.
Why is it called mild steel?
Mild steel is named for its low carbon content, which makes it malleable, ductile, and less brittle. These properties allow for easy processing, such as rolling, forging, and welding.
