Osmond iron (also spelt osmund and also called osborn) was wrought iron made by a particular process. This is associated with the first European production of cast iron in furnaces such as Lapphyttan in Sweden.[1]
Osmond iron was made by melting pig iron in a hearth rather narrower and deeper than a typical finery in an English finery forge.
