Pig iron
Pig iron, a fundamental stage in iron and steel production, is obtained by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. Characterized by high carbon content, pig iron serves as the primary raw material for various steelmaking processes. Its versatility lies in its ability to be refined into diverse steel grades, making it a cornerstone in the metallurgical industry. Pig iron plays a pivotal role in meeting the growing global demand for steel products.
