yes
Pig iron is crude iron as first obtained from a smelting furnace, in the form of oblong blocks.
The main impurities in pig are carbon (C) and Silicon (Si)
During the manufacture of Cast Iron, an intermediate product is Pig Iron. Further processing results in Cast Iron.

Oh, what a happy little question! "Just for pig iron" is an old saying that comes from the early days of the iron industry. It refers to doing something simply for the sake of obtaining pig iron, which was a low-quality iron product used in early industrial processes. Just like in painting, sometimes we start with simple materials and build something beautiful from there.
Yes, pig iron is magnetic due to its high iron content. The iron atoms in pig iron are arranged in a way that makes it magnetic, allowing it to be attracted to magnets.
iron core , coke and limestone are needed to make pig iron
Pig iron is crude iron as first obtained from a smelting furnace, in the form of oblong blocks.
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."

Pig iron is produced when heating * Iron ORE (not iron as the question says!) * Coke * limestone in a Blast Furnace.
No.
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.
Pig iron is made by heating iron ore with a high carbon content in a blast furnace. The carbon in the ore combines with oxygen to create carbon monoxide, which reduces the iron oxide to iron. The molten iron is then poured into molds to cool and solidify, forming pig iron.
No, pig iron is not a non-ferrous metal. Pig iron is a type of iron produced by smelting iron ore in a blast furnace. It contains a significant amount of carbon and other impurities, making it distinct from non-ferrous metals which do not contain iron.
http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761559225/iron_and_steel_manufacture.html Provides the answer. basic summary: 1. Pig Iron and Sponge Iron are the result of different production processes 2. Which results in different purities. Pig Iron has a lower purity than Sponge Iron.
