What is the difference between Sponge iron and pig iron and their application?
Sponge iron is produced by reducing iron ore pellets in a direct-reduction process, whereas pig iron is produced by melting iron ore with a high-carbon fuel in a blast furnace. Sponge iron is mainly used as a raw material for steelmaking in electric arc furnaces, whereas pig iron is typically used in the production of cast iron and wrought iron products.

What is the difference between pig iron and steel?
Pig iron is the initial form of iron produced during the smelting of iron ore, containing high carbon content and impurities. Steel is an alloy of iron that contains less carbon and is produced by further refining pig iron to remove impurities and control the carbon content, resulting in a more malleable and versatile material.

no
Which is purer wrought or 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."
What is the difference between pig iron and cast iron?
Pig iron is cast iron with a very high carbon content: 4% by weight or more. Cast iron has at least 2% carbon by weight. Less than that, and it's steel. Cast iron and pig iron are not called steel, despite being iron carbides, because they lack the structural strength of steel and are extremely brittle. In terms of the microstructure, cast iron and pig iron contain no cementite, austenite, or martensite. Historically, "pig iron" refers to cast iron made by a particular process: the high-carbon molten iron made in a blast furnace was poured into moulds made of sand, which had a particular shape. Narrow trenches would run down the edge of the mould, and then branching off of them there would be the actual ingots. The whole setup looked to the ironworkers like a sow suckling piglets, so the product became known as pig iron.
