Answer 1

Iron is a metal as well as a chemical element. People might think the term “cast iron” refers to all early iron work, or that early iron work was always “wrought,” or that both may be true. They would be wrong. Actually, the basic distinction between the two is simple:

Cast iron is iron that has been melted, poured into a mold, and allowed to cool.

Wrought iron is iron that has been heated and then worked with tools. In fact, the term “wrought” derived from the past participle of the word “worked.”
