Pig Iron Overview

Pig iron is a primary product produced in the initial stages of ironmaking by reducing iron ore. It has a high carbon content, typically between 3.5% and 4.5%, along with elements such as silica, manganese, sulfur, phosphorus, titanium and other trace substances.

There are three main types of pig iron: BASIC PIG IRON, mainly used in electric arc steelmaking; FOUNDRY PIG IRON, primarily employed in the production of grey iron castings in cupola furnaces; and NODULAR PIG IRON (SG GRADE), used to make ductile iron castings.

Pig iron plays a crucial role in steel production, foundry operations, alloy manufacturing, and the production of automotive and various other iron-based castings.
