Cast iron, wrought iron and steel are all essentially alloys of iron and carbon.
Wrought iron is iron with a low carbon content, it was used in place of Cast iron is iron that has been shaped by being poured into a cast.
Cast aluminum outdoor furniture is one of today's best options to furnish your outdoor living spaces. It is traditional and classic, with the look and feel of wrought iron, but at the same doesn't rust.
Iron weighs 0.284 pounds per cubic inch, while cast iron is about 0.25-0.27 pounds per cubic inch, due to how it is made and processed. So pure iron is heavier
Henry Cort improved the process of producing wrought iron by developing the puddling furnace and rolling mill. This allowed for more efficient and cost-effective production of wrought iron, which was vital for the industrial revolution in Britain. Cort's innovations helped to revolutionize the iron industry and increase the availability of iron for manufacturing purposes.
Wrought iron is the closest to pure iron you can get, as far as i know, with it being 99-99.8% Fe. There are many processes for producing wrought iron. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrought_iron for more details.
An aluminum spoon would become hotter because aluminum is a better conductor of heat than iron. This means that the heat from the food being served would transfer more quickly through the aluminum spoon, making it feel hotter to the touch compared to an iron spoon.
In theory yes, both will serve you for many years. The lower priced in both wrought iron and cast aluminum tend to have more impurities in the raw material and thus can be more brittle. Cast Aluminum is more readily available and generally offers more selection.
Wrought iron patio chairs are often made from cast aluminum. Some are made from a form of mild steel or a common form of low-carbon steel. Neither is more popular than the other.
The main types are wrough iron, aluminum and steel. For aluminum or steel furniture, look for metal that is stainless, galvanized or powder-coated. Cast iron has been replaced now by wrought iron for patio furniture.
Cast Iron. Cast Iron can be "seasoned" which creates a "non"-stick coating while cast Aluminum cannot. I have used both cast Iron and cast Aluminum; the rosettes made with the Aluminum irons never release as well as rosettes made using the cast Iron. Given how delicate rosettes are after frying and how HOT as well; I have never had the same success rate using the aluminum irons.
Wrought iron furniture is made from iron that has been forged and shaped to create the various elements of the furniture. Cast iron is made by molding the pieces and then constructing the finished furniture. Iron is iron; there is no such thing as "lightweight" iron. The iron can be cast thinner than wrought iron, but wrought iron can be very delicate if the blacksmith wants to make it so. Wrought-iron is usually more durable and heavier than cast pieces, but not always. Check for construction and the number of welds, and rely on the manufacturers' or artists' guarantees of quality.
Wrought iron has the least amount of carbon among steel, pig iron, wrought iron, and cast iron. Wrought iron typically contains less than 0.1% carbon, making it more ductile and less brittle compared to the others.

I am not familiar with cast steel patio furniture, but have heard of cast aluminum and wrought iron patio furniture. Some pieces can be a little pricey, but they are usually worth the price.
Steel. +++ Though that's not how steel is made. Wrought-iron has not been made for many years now, in fact it was obsolescent by the end of the 19C.
Heads are aluminum and block is cast iron
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.
