Pig iron is the intermediate product of smelting iron ore with a high-carbon fuel such as coke, usually with limestone as a flux. It is the molten iron from the blast furnace, which is a large and cylinder-shaped furnace charged with iron ore, coke, and limestone.

Charcoal and anthracite have also been used as fuel. Pig iron has a very high carbon content, typically 3.5-4.5%, along with silica and other constituents of dross, which makes it very brittle and not useful directly as a material except for limited applications.
