Iron

铁是地壳中含量最多的金属元素之一,历史悠久、可塑性高、易于加工。在设计应用中,我们常见的"铁"主要包括黑铁板(未镀处理铁)、铸铁、锻铁等形式。这些材料质感朴素、表面可锈化、具有浓烈的"原始力量"与"时间痕迹"美学,广泛用于工业风、复古风、可持续再利用装置等方向。但铁易生锈,需特别注意防腐处理与使用场景匹配。

Iron is one of the most abundant metal elements in the Earth's crust, with a long history, high plasticity, and easy processing. In design applications, what we commonly refer to as 'iron' mainly includes black iron sheets (uncoated iron), cast iron, wrought iron, etc. These materials have a simple texture, surface rustable, with strong 'primitive power' and 'time traces' aesthetics, widely used in industrial, retro, and sustainable reuse installations. However, iron is prone to rust and requires special attention to anti-corrosion treatment and compatibility with usage scenarios.
