Cast iron is iron that has been melted, poured into a mould, and allowed to cool. By contrast, wrought iron is iron that has been heated before being worked with tools to obtain its final shape.

Wrought iron has a very low carbon content (less than 0.08%), whereas cast iron contains 2-4% carbon.

Wrought iron is characteristically fibrous in appearance, but compared to cast iron it is softer and more ductile.

In comparison with wrought iron, cast iron is non-malleable, hard and brittle. Wrought iron resists fatigue and has a higher tensile strength than cast iron, meaning that it is more suited to horizontal beams.
