Technical Information |

|
Pure Iron
|
|
| Pure Iron is one of the purest grades of iron ever produced. It has a homogenous structure of pure ferrite containing exceptionally low levels of carbon. It offers special advantages for many cold working operations. |
| The advantages of its very low carbon content are: |
- malleability and ductility
- since carbon is a hardening element, there is no risk of auto quench at high temperatures
- carbon is not a good factor for welding
|
|

|
Forging
|
|
|
Its great malleability eases forging. Pure Iron has a critical working range between 1,580 and 1,920 degrees Fahrenheit (860 and 1,050 degrees Centigrade) and must not be hot worked at or between these temperature limits. When the iron is worked within the limits of the critical range, it is likely to check or break. Pure Iron must be hot worked between 800 and 1560 degrees Fahrenheit (430 and 850 degrees Celsisus) -- red black to cherry red) and 1,940 and 2,280 degrees Fahrenheit (1,060 and 1,250 degrees Celsius) -- yellow to bright yellow. |

Weldability
|
|
| Due to its high metallurgical purity, its homogenous grain structure, and its very low carbon content, Pure Iron has excellent welding qualities |
|
|
|
|
|
Resistance to Corrosion
|
|
|
Pure Iron has a better resistance to electrolytic corrosion at grain boundaries between the iron crystal and interstitial elements. It is more resistant to atmospheric corrosion than normal mild steels, due to a formation of cohesive adherent layer of rust which naturally protects the underlying iron.
Pure Iron has a superior resistance to rusting as compared with mild steels. Oxidation is an important consideration where hot working or high temperature processing is involved. Oxide scale not only restricts heat transfer but also reduces the effective material thickness. Pure Iron shows greater protective scale whereas mild steel shows incoherent layers of scale which easily flakes off to expose fresh areas of metal for further attack. |

Iron-To-Live-With, Santa Fe, NM
|
|
|
All elements for this grapevine were forged at iron-to-live-with in Santa Fe. For the leaves pure iron bought from Wagner was used. The raised veins were formed in a die under a big air hammer and subsequently chased. Mild steel turned out to be to hard for the process to work, so we used the pure iron. After forming the veins, each leaf was cut out free hand with a chisel, cleaned up and bent. I will send several separate emails to keep the size down.
