Wrought iron contains carbon up to 0.25%.
It is known for its low carbon content, which makes it malleable, ductile, and resistant to corrosion, but not as strong as steel.

C.I and Pig iron - 2 to 5%.
Steel - 0.5 to 1.5%.
W.I - 0.1 to 1.25%.
Mild steel - less than 0.25.
Steel - 0.5 to 1.5%.

High carbon steel =0.8 -1.5.
Medium (high tensile)=0.3-0.8.
Mild =0.15-0.3.
Dead mild= less 0.15.

Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content (less than 0.05%) in contrast to that of cast iron (2.1% to 4.5%).
It is a semi-fused mass of iron with fibrous slag inclusions (up to 2% by weight), which gives it a wood-like "grain" that is visible when it is etched, rusted, or bent to failure. Wrought iron is tough, malleable, ductile, corrosion-resistant, and easily forge-welded, but is more difficult to weld electrically.

Wrought iron contains carbon up to 0.25% due to its production process, which involves repeatedly heating and hammering iron to remove impurities, including excess carbon.
This low carbon content gives wrought iron its characteristic malleability, toughness, and resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for forging and construction purposes.

Wrought iron is the purest form of iron where 99.5% is iron substance. It is the hardest form of any iron substance. If the carbon percentage is increased then the iron hardness form will be decreased.
