Scythian Blast Furnaces?
[edit]The source 6 does not seem to mention blast furnaces which would have produced pig iron. Is there a source for cast iron in Scythian workshops?
The type of iron implements made by the Scythians suggests that they got their iron out of bloomeries, furnaces producing a solid, initially spongy mass of iron that needs to be pounded by hammers while keeping red glow temperature to arrive at wrought iron or carbon steel. Pig iron from blast furnaces is way too brittle to produce useful blades. Jorganos (talk) 23:13, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
