Pig iron is a form of crude iron that is produced by smelting iron ore with a high-carbon fuel such as coke in a blast furnace. This material serves as the intermediate product for the production of cast iron and wrought iron, playing a critical role in the steelmaking process by providing the basic iron required for further refinement into more usable forms of steel and metals.

Pig iron used to manufacture ductile iron Pig iron, also known as crude iron, is an intermediate good used by the iron industry in the production of steel. It is developed by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. Pig iron has a high carbon content, typically 3.8–4.7%, [1] along with silica and other dross, which makes it brittle and not useful directly as a material except for limited
