Pig Iron
Pig iron is a solid form of hot metal, obtained from iron ore or scrap recycling, and it is processed with blast furnace or electric arc furnace. Pig iron is used as a raw material for iron steel making and most of this material was imported. The term “pig iron” dates back to the time when hot metal was cast into ingots before being charged to the steel plant. The moulds were laid out in sand beds such that they could be fed from a common runner. The group of moulds resembled a litter of sucking pigs, the ingots being called “pigs” and the runner the “sow.”
