What are three raw materials to make pig iron?

iron core , coke and limestone are needed to make pig iron

Pig iron is generally an intermediate product of the wrought iron and steel making process. Pig iron is virtually useless due to the very high impurity content. "Pure" is a strange quantification of the comparison between pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is pure pig iron and wrought iron is pure wrought iron if there is a "standard" for the respective materials. I'm guessing that the answer you want is that wrought iron is "more pure."

Steel investment foundries make use of pig iron

Pig iron is crude iron as first obtained from a smelting furnace, in the form of oblong blocks.

There are three types of Iron 1. Pig Iron 2. Cast Iron 3. Wrought Iron (Commercially purest form of iron)

Carbon is the major impurity in pig iron

Pig iron is cast iron with a very high carbon content. Pig iron has 4% by weight or more. Cast iron has at least 2% carbon by weight.

bronze is made from copper and tin at what amount i do not know, and pig iron is a type of iron that is like steel but does not contain as much carbon in it and pig iron is usually used to make cast iron as well. i am trying to sound as humble as possible so i do not sound as smart as i think i am

Iron Ore is an Iron Compound. Iron ore is usually used to make pig iron(metallic iron), cast iron, corrugated iron structural sheeting, and wrought iron.

The first pig used straw, the second pig used sticks (wood) and the third pig used bricks.

The production of iron or steel is a process containing two main stages, unless the desired product is cast iron. The first stage is to produce pig iron in a blast furnace. Alternatively, it may be directly reduced. The second is to make wrought iron or steel from pig iron by a further process.

Pig iron is produced when heating * Iron ORE (not iron as the question says!) * Coke * limestone in a Blast Furnace.

During the manufacture of Cast Iron, an intermediate product is Pig Iron. Further processing results in Cast Iron.

pig iron is intermediate product of smelting of iron ore sponge iron is product of direct reduction of iron ore in solid state

pig iron is a term modern blacksmith use for an iron alloy used in forging many basic tools

Henry Bessemer developed a way to make steel by melting and burning pig iron. Pig iron is the result of mining and refining iron ore. Before steel, he worked with glass, but his glass making process was not practical.

Where does Pig Iron come from? Pig iron is the intermediate product of smelting iron ore with coke, usually with limestone as a flux. Pig iron has a very high carbon content, typically 3.5-4.5%,[1] which makes it very brittle and not useful directly as a material except for limited applications.

there are various ferrous metals but the three main ferrous metals are: 1. pig iron 2. cast iron 3. steel

Definition of Pig Iron: The term was derived from the method of casting the bars of iron in depressions or moulds formed in the sand floor adjacent to a furnace. These were connected to a runner (known as a sow) and when filled with metal the runner and the numerous smaller moulds were supposed to resemble a litter of suckling pigs, hence the term pig iron. pig iron is called pig iron because due to it shape and molds. When the iron come out from its mold due to it contain % of carbon and it look black pigs, when it come out of it mold it look like pigs standing in a group so it is called pig iron. answered by vsp the king

Wood planks, hammer, and nails, and probably straw.

When Pig Iron is melted and recooled it is called Cast Iron

Because of the pressure that is on the the hot iron the cold iron doesn't have as much force as the hot one so that's why!
