铁艺从制作工艺上一般可以分为铸铁和锻打两种。
Iron art can generally be divided into two types in terms of production process: cast iron and forging.
铸铁是用模具成型，表面比较粗糙，在我们现代生活中使用的较少，在此不多做介绍。
Cast iron is formed by molds with a relatively rough surface, which is rarely used in our modern life. We will not introduce it more here.
锻打铁艺是用专用的铁艺材料制作而成。锻打铁艺制品从风格上来分辨的话，又可以分为古典型与现代型。
Forged iron is made from specialized iron materials. Forged iron products can be distinguished from classical and modern styles in terms of style.
古典型一般采用较为粗厚的原材料，并配以较复杂的图案，颜色也大多会采用仿古色，相对来说，古典型的铁艺制品是属于柔美型的。
Classical iron products generally use thicker raw materials and are accompanied by more complex patterns, and the colors are mostly antique. Relatively speaking, classical iron products belong to the soft and beautiful type.

而现代型的就较为简单了，采用的材料一般会选择比较些小的方管，现代型的铁艺制品主要是体现出精简，但也并不缺乏现代美，注意打造出来的是一种简单但不简约，时尚但不奢华的风格，更符合现代人的审美格调。
The modern style is relatively simple, and the materials used are usually smaller square tubes. The modern iron products mainly reflect simplicity, but do not lack modern beauty. Pay attention to creating a simple but not simple, fashionable but not luxurious style, which is more in line with the aesthetic style of modern people.
铁艺大门从结构上区分的话就分为两种：
If the iron gate is structurally distinguished, it can be divided into two types:
栏杆通透型，主要做法为以尺寸较大的方管做大门的框架， 然后使用铁艺配件直接在框架中拼接镶嵌。这种通透型的铁艺大门的性能更加倾向于美观，而且材料使用量比较少，适合做尺寸比较大的门，比如小区大门，别墅花园门等。
The railing is transparent and the main method is to use larger square pipes as the frame of the gate, and then use iron accessories to directly splice and embed them in the frame. The performance of this transparent iron gate tends to be more aesthetically pleasing, and the amount of material used is relatively small, making it suitable for larger doors, such as community gates, villa garden gates, etc.
