WROUGHT IRON
IT IS THE PUREST FORM OF IRON (99.5-99.9)% WITH LOW( CARBON,
SILICON , SULPHER, PHOSPHORUS AND MANGANESE) CONTENT LESS
THAN 0.5%.
IT IS MADE FROM WHITE PIG IRON .

ELEMENT OF WROUGHT IRON

•IRON (FE)
•CARBON (C)
•SILICON (SI)
•SULPHUR (S) WROUGHT IRONT
•PHOSPHORUS (P)
•MANGANESE (MN)
THE SOURCE MATERIAL FOR THE MANUFACTURING OF WROUGHT IRON
PUDDLING PROCESS AND ASTON PROCESS

PUDDLING PROCESS
•THIS CONSIST OF HEATING THE PIG IRON IN A SMALL REVEBERATORY
FURNACE CALLED PUDDLING FURNACE
THE FURNACE .HAS LINING OF IRON OXIDE BRICKS
THE CHARGE IS HEATED TO 1200 DEGREE C.
•AT THIS TEMPERATURE MELT IS OXIDIZED ON COMING IN CONTACT
WITH IRON OXIDE LINING, TO ENSURE THAT MORE AND MORE FUSED
METAL COMES IN CONTACT WITH IRON OXIDE LINING THE MOLTEN
CHARGE IS REGULARLY STIRRED OR PUDDLED THROUGH PUDDLING
HOLES .HENCE THE NAME OF THE PROCESS. PUDDLING PROCESST
ASTON PROCESS
•IN THIS PROCESS ,PIG IRON IS FIRST REFINED BY HEATING IN A
BESSEMER CONVERTER .
•ALL THE IMPURITIES GET REMOVED BY DIRECTING A STRONG
CURRENT OF AIR OVER THE MOLTEN MATERIAL
THE MOLTEN PIG IRON IS CAST INTO MOULDS.
•A MIXURE OF IRON OXIDE IS PUT INTO THE MIXING MACHINE
WHERE IT IS FIRST GRANULATED .WHEN STILL HOT SLAG IS POURED
ON TO IT FROM THE SLAG IS POURED ON TO IT FROM THE SLAG
LADLES
•THE SLAG IS ESSENTIALLY AT A LOWER TEMPERATURE THAN PIG
IRON .THE POURING RESULTS IN ABRUPT SOLIDIFICATION OF GOOD
AMOUNT OF SLAG .THIS STEP IS CALLED SHOOTING THE SLAG BALLS
SO FORMED ARE SUBJECTED TO PRESSING MACHINE WHERE THE
EXTRA QUALITY OF SLAG IS SEQUEEZED OUT OF THEM .THE
RESULTING MATERIAL IS WROUGHT IRON. ACTON PROCESS
PROPERTIES OF WROUGHT IRON
STRENGTH- IT HAS A TENSILE STRENGTH VARYING BETWEEN 2500 E
MPA TO 4000 MPA. F
