Difference between Iron Age metals…?
1. Rank steel, bronze, wrought iron, and cast iron in order of quality for weapons and tools.
2. Which of those metals were used to make the best weapons in the Iron Age?
3. Which of those metals were used to make most tools in the Iron Age, and why?
I’m not sure, but here’s what I think the answers are:
1. Steel is best, then bronze, then wrought iron, then cast iron.
2. Steel, since it’s the best.
3. Wrought iron, since it was the cheapest at the time, since it was easier to make than steel, and more common than bronze.
1. Steel, Bronze, Cast Iron, Wrought Iron
Questions 2 and 3 depend on the location. China primarily used cast iron, while other regions had not discovered iron ores yet. The articles below can probably help you.
