The basic substance used in ferrous metals such as steel and cast iron (gray and
malleable) is iron. It is used in the form of pig iron.Iron is a base metal, meaning that it is an alloying agent in many different metals.

Iron is produced
from iron ore that occurs chiefly in nature as an oxide, the two most
important oxides being hematite and magnetite. Iron ore is reduced to
pig iron in a blast furnace, and the impurities are removed in the form
of slagĀ
