RE: what is the difference between wrought and foged
Wrought can mean - rolled, forged, extruded or combination of the previous forming methods that shapes the item into final form. So, forging is a subset of wrought product forms.
Forged - is a distinct forming method.

RE: what is the difference between wrought and foged
I interpret "wrought" to mean that the stock has been mechanically worked in one direction (ie. rolled or drawn), so it has a predominantly longitudinal grain flow . I interpret "forged" to mean that the stock has been mechanically worked in more than one direction, thus resulting in a grain flow that somewhat follows the shape of the forging. The resulting properties would differ mostly in the transverse grain direction.
Hope that helps.

Interesting interpretation but how do you reconcile cross rolling of plate products, a non-wrought product????
