Product type
Foundry Grade Pig Iron is a type of iron that is produced from iron ore in a blast furnace and is characterized by its high carbon content, typically between 3% to 4%. It is primarily used in the production of cast iron products due to its excellent casting properties and ability to enhance the mechanical properties of the final product. Foundry Grade Pig Iron is often used as a raw material in the manufacturing of various iron and steel products.

| Carbon content | 3% to 4% |
| Silicon content | 1% to 3% |
| Manganese content | 0.5% to 1.5% |
| Phosphorus content | 0.1% to 0.5% |
| Sulfur content | 0.02% to 0.1% |
| Typical form | Ingots or granules |
When choosing Foundry Grade Pig Iron, buyers should consider the specific chemical composition required for their applications, particularly the levels of carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. It is also important to specify the desired form, such as ingots or granules, and to provide information on the quantities needed. Additionally, buyers may want to inquire about certifications and quality standards relevant to their industry.
