Product Description Pig iron is a high-carbon iron alloy produced from iron ore in a blast furnace. It is characterized by its brittle nature and is primarily used as a raw material for the production of cast iron and steel.
Product Data Chemical Composition: Pig iron typically contains 3-4% carbon, 0.5-3% silicon, 0.5% manganese, and small amounts of phosphorus and sulfur. Physical Properties: It has a high density, approximately 6.9 g/cm3, and a melting point of around 1200-1300 degrees Celsius.
Product Classification Pig iron can be classified into different grades based on its carbon content and impurities. Major classifications include foundry pig iron, which is used for casting, and basic pig iron, which is used for steelmaking.
Product Features Pig iron features high carbon content, which provides good fluidity and castability. It also has a lower melting point compared to other iron materials, allowing for easier processing. Its composition can be adjusted to suit specific manufacturing needs.
Product Uses Pig iron is primarily used in the production of cast iron products, including cookware, automotive parts, and machinery components. It is also used in the steelmaking process, serving as a primary feedstock alongside scrap metal.
Precautions When handling pig iron, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and safety goggles, to prevent injury from sharp edges and high temperatures. Proper ventilation should be ensured during processing to avoid inhaling dust or fumes. Store pig iron in a dry environment to prevent rust or oxidation.
Cross-border procurement of Pig Iron involves multiple aspects such as logistics, taxation, compliance, and capital flow, and has more risk points than procurement in Macedonia.
Please pay attention to the latest prices in 2026.
The core advantage of Chinese suppliers is that, relying on a complete industrial chain and a mature manufacturing system, they have global competitiveness in cost, delivery speed, and product diversity.
