Properties and Uses of Wrought Iron


Properties and Uses of Wrought Iron:

 Wrought Iron

Its most important properties are mentioned below.
1. Strength: It has a tensile strength varying between 2500 to 4000 kg/cm2. The strength are going to be greater within the longitudinal direction. The ultimate compressive strength ranges between 1500-2000 kg/cm2.
 2. Physical: Wrought Iron is bluish in color, has a silky luster and fibrous structure. It is malleable, ductile, tough, and immune to corrosion.
 3. Density: The metal has a density of 7.8 gm/cm3 and a melting point of 1500 centigrade.
Wrought Iron shows good resistance to fatigue and sudden shock. Moreover, it can be welded with ease.
Uses of Wrought Iron:
Because of the above set of properties, Wrought Iron is extensively used as a material for making plates, sheets, pipes, tubes, etc. It is also used in buildings, railways, and marine industries.
