Wrought Iron "Wrought iron was first produced around 1750 when Abraham Darby II
(1711-1763) solved the problem of making a suitable pig iron using a coke
furnace. His father Abraham Darby I (1677-1717) had developed the first coke
furnace at Coalbrookdale in 1709 but the molten metal produced was poured into
sand moulds to make cast-iron goods.
