What kind of metal did the blacksmith use?
In past times most often the blacksmith used wrought iron. Wrought iron is made by taking iron ore and charcoal heating until it melts. That process produces pig iron. The next step is to heat the pig iron up until it is soft then hammer it until most of the impurities are driven off. Iron as it is heated past 600 degrees F turns black as the iron oxides with air. That gives the Blacksmith his name black + smith or striker. Mild steel is used for most modern blacksmith works.Mild steel that is steel that has less than .3 percent carbon in it. Cast iron is not used as it is too brittle.

What do you call the plating of iron with zinc?
The plating of iron with zinc is called galvanization. This process involves coating iron or steel with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion and rusting. Galvanization is commonly achieved through methods such as hot-dip galvanizing or electro-galvanizing. The zinc layer acts as a sacrificial anode, providing long-lasting protection to the underlying metal.
What type of materiel is reinforced concrete?

What are wire cutters made of?
