wagon wheel tire

bubby:
If it's wrought iron I would like to get my hands on a little Pat

Pat B:
How do I know if it is wrought iron?

ssgtchad:
Take a small sample heat it to critical, quench, it then slap it on your anvil, If it shatters it's probably good steel to forge a blade. I'd think that the road wheel would be made from a good quality steel, seeing that it has to hold up to alot of friction,  bumps etc. I dont think wrought iron would hold up.

PaulN/KS:
I've got an old bent up one that I found stuck in the rocks by a pasture. It rings like a bell when ya whack it...
Never have done anything with it except move it out of the way a bunch a times.  ::)

Pat B:
I have no way of cutting or heating to any significant temperature. Maybe I make a gong out of it.  :OK
