Wrought iron was popular long before steel because it was - and still is - a malleable and ductile metal, meaning it is easily worked and can be drawn out into wire or threads. Wrought iron was slowly replaced by mild steel to produce the same types of materials.

Iron is actually a very soft metal in its untreated state. Carbon is added to harden it and create variations of iron. Steel is iron with no more than 1.5 percent carbon added, and cast iron has more than two percent carbon added. Wrought iron is pure iron layered with siliceous slag giving it its unique characteristics.
