While wrought iron is naturally durable, it is essential to protect it from rust and corrosion. Coatings and finishes, such as powder coating or galvanizing, are applied to enhance the longevity of the fence. These treatments not only provide a protective barrier but are also available in a variety of colors, allowing homeowners to match their fence to their property’s exterior.

Cultural Significance

The pickets are the vertical bars that run between the rails and are typically spaced evenly apart. They can vary widely in height, style, and design. Traditional wrought iron pickets are straight and rigid, while modern designs may feature curves, twists, or even decorative motifs. The spacing between pickets can affect the level of visibility and security, allowing homeowners to customize their fences to meet specific needs.

It involves a chemical electrolytic process, which brightens the aluminum surface without leaving any debris or deposits on it. The brightness extent is influenced by type of aluminum alloy and original surface finish of aluminum profile being processed.

Connecting the posts are the horizontal rails. These parts provide structure and maintain the integrity of the fence. Wrought iron fences typically consist of two horizontal rails—top and bottom. The top rail is often wider than the bottom, providing a finished look and added stability. Rails can also be designed with intricate patterns, seamlessly blending function with artistic expression.

Typical aluminum material for windows and doors profiles is often taken through aging process during extrusion. The process strengthens the material, and as temperature reduces, its strength increases.

Speaking from personal experience as a welder, steel is a lot easier to work with than iron. If someone manages to break a piece of steel (which isn’t easy), repairing it is a simple matter of properly positioning the pieces and welding them together. In contrast, repairing a cracked or damaged piece of iron means heating the whole piece back up to nearly molten temperatures, then carefully welding it in stages--with pauses to reheat the piece--while sometimes giving it a whack with a hammer and hoping you don’t hear the tell-tale ping of a crack forming somewhere else. Iron is a finicky material.

The process of continually heating and reworking cast iron is how wrought iron is produced. The labor-intensive production procedure that results in wrought iron's characteristic laminar structure also contributes to the material's high cost. Cast iron cannot compare to this material's incredible tensile strength and flexibility.

Cast iron is vulnerable to rusting if it does not have a protective coating of carbonized oil, a process known as seasoning.
