What are you using for metal forging? I'm glad you asked! We'll discuss the types of metal that can be used to forge, the different metals, and three examples of how limestone is used in the forging process
I am using limestone for steel forging because it is a natural material that has a lot of iron in it. The iron makes it harder and stronger than other materials like sandstone or granite. It also reduces the amount of heat needed to melt it down into steel
If I were making something made out of steel, I would use iron ore and limestone together. The iron ore would give me steel while the limestone would help me make sure that my steel was strong enough to hold up under pressure when I was forging it with a hammer or anvil.
