Best Answer

Iron (pretty uncommon anymore) is just broken up and added back into the melting pots at the foundry. Iron is more common in decorative metalwork or items that need rust resistance but not the strength or hardness of steel. If you locate what was called pig iron it is almost considered a collector item and some blacksmiths use it to make replica or repairs to old iron items with it. The Pig Iron is no longer produced so its become a rair item. The STEEL in most vehicles is also treated a similar way, each batch of steel made has a predetermined amount of recycled steel included in it melting pot. Then they add the raw materials (like Iron ore) to complete the recipe for the type of steel they are producing. This also applies to most recycled metals.
