About Pig Iron
Pig iron is crude iron produced in blast furnaces by smelting iron ore with coke and limestone, serving as the primary feedstock for steel production and cast iron manufacturing. Internationally traded grades include standard pig iron (containing 3.5-4.5% carbon), foundry-grade pig iron (optimized for casting), and specialty grades with controlled silicon or phosphorus levels. Major producers and exporters include China, India, Russia, and Ukraine, which collectively supply over 85% of global exports. Buyers should verify sulfur content rigorously, as elevated levels complicate downstream processing; certificates of analysis from reputable laboratories are essential for quality assurance and should accompany all shipments.
