Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Wrought iron is a tough malleable form of iron which contains very less carbon percentage of 0.05 to 1%. It is very soft in nature and have high tension strength. It is also magnetic and ductile in nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence, wrought Iron is the purest form of iron and contains less than 0.1 percent of carbon.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wrought iron is composed primarily of elemental iron with small amounts (1–2 percent) of added slag (the by-product of iron ore smelting, generally consisting of a mixture of silicon, sulfur, phosphorous, and aluminum oxides).
Detailed explanation-4: -Percentage of carbon in cast iron is 2 to 4.5% wrought iron is 0.12−0.25% and steel is 0.25 to 2%.
