Forging temperature is the temperature at which a metal becomes substantially more soft, but is lower than the melting temperature. Bringing a metal to its. Wrought iron is almost pure iron, while steel contains up to 2% of carbon. The more carbon, the harder the steel will become, but also the more brittle, plus it will be more difficult to forgeweld. Over 2% you are getting into the territory of cast iron, which melts low, but is very brittle when hard.
Aluminum cookware is a long-standing kitchen staple due to its low cost and ability to effectively conduct heat. But decades ago, as autopsy reports found unusually high levels of aluminum in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, concern arose over the health risks of this metal -- including the safety of cooking foods in aluminum cookware. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports the amount of aluminum that leaches into food from this cookware is much less than the amount naturally present in foods and other consumer products. But because aluminum is a known toxin to the body, the safety of dietary aluminum and this cookware is still a controversial issue with consumers.
