Application of relevant Pig Iron types



Basic Pig Iron:

Basic pig iron is used for crude steel production.



Foundry Pig Iron:

Foundry or hematite pig iron is used by foundries for the production of grey cast iron.



Nodular Pig Iron:

Nodular or high-purity pig iron is used by foundries for the production of ductile iron. Thereby, a low Mn and S content of below 0.6 wt.% and 0.015 wt.% respectively is particularly important.
