Pig iron Lesson/Tutorial   The iron found in nature as ore must be converted to a useable form for engineering applications.  This is done in a blast furnace where ore, limestone, coke (carbon), and air interact to produce pig iron.  Pig iron is mostly iron with small amounts of carbon, manganese, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur.
