Ok so I think I got some bad wrought iron. I was making a guard and shaped it to rough shape I threw it in the forge to finish up the shaping of the guard. I put it in for about 10 min and when I returned it was a blob of metal in my forge. This stuff had melted. I have used this bar before on other guards but never forged them to shape. It ground well and etched fine and looked like wrought when done. So the melting tempertaure for wwrought is what 2700 degrees? I have never had wrought melt down on me what could this be?
