• Cast ironRelated: It is a common molten feedstock for making cast iron.

• Coke (fuel)Broader topic: It is the molten iron product made in the coke-fueled blast furnace.

• Wrought ironCompared with: Pig iron is the brittle, carbon-rich feedstock that refining converts into wrought iron.

• Bessemer processRelated: It is the molten feedstock whose carbon and impurities the process removes.

• Direct reduced ironCompared with: Pig iron is liquid when produced and contains substantially more carbon than DRI.

• IronmakingBroader topic: Pig iron is a solid form in which blast-furnace iron is commonly transported or remelted.

• IronworkingBroader topic: Its high carbon content makes it brittle and calls for further refining.

• Henry BessemerRelated: It was the principal feedstock the Bessemer process converted into steel.
