Uses of pure iron?

Today, pig iron is typically poured directly out of the bottom of the blast furnace through a trough into a ladle car for transfer to the steel mill in mostly liquid form, referred to as hot metal. The hot metal is then charged into a steelmaking vessel to produce steel, typically with an electric arc furnace or basic oxygen furnace, by burning off the excess carbon in a controlled fashion and adjusting the alloy composition.


Why is iron cheaper than other metals by using the blast furnace?

Partly due to scale of manufacture, partly due to the cheap and simple method of extraction from the ore, partly due to the ease with which the adundant ore can be mined, partly due to the high (compared to many metals) metal content of ores.
