Abstract

Wrought alloys are obtained from cast alloys. A wrought alloy is one that has been worked, drawn or shaped into a serviceable form, e.g., plates, band materials, bars, and wires. The process of forming wrought metal objects has been known since ancient times. For example, swords used in warfare were formed by subjecting a hot piece of metal to a beating process. Other things used in daily life like farming equipment and kitchen utensils are also made by a similar process.
