no, wrought iron is a mixture of cast iron and glassy slag that has been forged and folded repeatedly until the slag forms tiny fibers running the length of the billet. The slag fibers act as reinforcements to counter the brittleness of the cast iron. Until the development of true steels, wrought iron was the strongest and most flexible form of iron.

Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."
