Hi Erich
The jargon for ferrous products is/was confusing. Iron as for roofing, wire, decorative work etc derives from the original wrought iron and has been inappropriate from the late 19th century, although only recently falling out of general use. The replacement is often now not just mild steel but a quite high carbon springy steel as modern car frames , roofing steel, fence wire etc.
