__**Iron Workers:**__ What it takes to be an iron worker:  New words: Wrough Iron, Tie Rods, Alloys, Cast Iron, Rod <span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; color: #9c263c;"> Iron can be used in many ways. That's why there are different types of iron for these different types of uses. There's Wrough Iron, that has a low carbon content, making it though and malleable, so it can be forged and welded, and there's Cast Iron, an alloy (a mixture of two metallic elements, usually fused together) of iron containing so much carbon that it is brittle, and so, it cannot be wrought, it must be shaped by casting only. This types of iron could be used for constructing beams or columns, and they're unified by rods (thin straight pieces or bars of material) like tie rods, a metal rod that joins and reinforces parts in a structure.
