I’ve been doing a lot of research into the making of steel but I can’t really find much good info about the making of wrought steel, specifically this question; if I have a bar of wrought steel, that has been forged into said bar, I imagine that it had to of been melted and cast into some precursor prior to it being forged into that bar right? Wouldn’t that mean that cast steel becomes wrought steel when worked? I’ve always been told that you can’t forge or weld cast metals but if the difference is just grain structure and carbon content I imagine you can make it into wrought through working it?

Any info is much appreciated
