The pillar has attracted the attention of archaeologists and because of its high resistance to corrosion has been called a "testimony to the high level of skill achieved by the ancient Indian iron smiths in the extraction and processing of iron."The corrosion resistance results from an even layer of crystalline iron hydrogen phosphate hydrate forming on the high-content iron, which serves to protect it from the effects of the Delhi climate.

The Iron Pillar that stands at the center of the Quwwatul Mosque dates back to 4th Century A.D. It is counted in one of Delhi's most curious structures. Erected in honour of the Hindu God, Lord Vishnu, it has inscriptions of ‘Brahmi characters’ on it to indicate the same. Some people also say that it was made in the memory of the Gupta King Chandragupta II (375-413). There are many archaeologists, historians and scientists who have been studying it for so many centuries now. But the mystery remains unsolved.
