鐵藝從制作工藝上一般可以分為鑄鐵和鍛打兩種。
Iron art can generally be divided into two types in terms of production process: cast iron and forging.
鑄鐵是用模具成型，表面比較粗糙，在我們現代生活中使用的較少，在此不多做介紹。
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.
鍛打鐵藝是用專用的鐵藝材料制作而成。鍛打鐵藝制品從風格上來分辨的話，又可以分為古典型與現代型。
Forged iron is made from specialized iron materials. Forged iron products can be distinguished from classical and modern styles in terms of style.
古典型一般采用較為粗厚的原材料，并配以較復雜的圖案，顏色也大多會采用仿古色，相對來說，古典型的鐵藝制品是屬于柔美型的。
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.

而現代型的就較為簡單了，采用的材料一般會選擇比較些小的方管，現代型的鐵藝制品主要是體現出精簡，但也并不缺乏現代美，注意打造出來的是一種簡單但不簡約，時尚但不奢華的風格，更符合現代人的審美格調。
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.
鐵藝大門從結構上區分的話就分為兩種：
If the iron gate is structurally distinguished, it can be divided into two types:
欄桿通透型，主要做法為以尺寸較大的方管做大門的框架， 然后使用鐵藝配件直接在框架中拼接鑲嵌。這種通透型的鐵藝大門的性能更加傾向于美觀，而且材料使用量比較少，適合做尺寸比較大的門，比如小區大門，別墅花園門等。
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.
