Iron age is the developmental stage of human
technology when weapons and tools were made
from iron. Iron was produced in Thailand by
about 1600 BC but was considered inferior in
strength to bronze until about 1000 when
metallurgical techniques improved and the
alloy steel was produced by adding carbon
during the smelting process.
