I stand corrected, somewhat<G>.  I was "assuming" that there was slag mixed
in the iron, not that the iron was high carbon.

I respectfully disagree, if this were so, you could forge cast iron using

    If I were to try to work it, I would first melt it in a crucible to
separate the iron from the slag.  Then, with a hunk of real metal, you can
forge what you want. _______________________________________________
