Description
For more than 1,600 years, the Iron Pillar of Delhi has stood through heat, rain, and monsoons.
Its unusual resistance to corrosion has fascinated historians, archaeologists, and materials scientists for decades. Research suggests that its composition and the protective layer formed on its surface helped preserve it over centuries.
This is not magic. It is a remarkable example of ancient Indian metallurgy.
