Pig IronPig iron is an intermediate value added product that sits between iron ore and pellets on the one hand, and steel on the other hand.
Pig Iron:
• Was the ultimate production objective of the old SASE project that was based on iron ore from Peculiar Knob and Hawks Nest and coal from Lake Phillipson
• Can be produced by many processes, including a blast furnace, Ausmelt process (A i ) K b IT Mk 3 t(Ausiron), Kobe IT Mk-3, etc
• Can be used as feedstock for electric arc furnace
• Cheap Chinese modular blast furnaces can pnow be bought “off the shelf”
