Pig Iron Portfolio
Niremet supplies specialised pig iron grades to support ductile, grey and steelmaking applications. Our nodular, basic and foundry pig irons are available in consistent ingot sizes for bulk handling.
All grades are supplied as 10–18 kg ingots without notches and shipped in bulk packaging unless otherwise specified.
Nodular Pig Iron

| NODULAR HP | 3.50–4.50% | 1.00% max | 0.04% max | 0.04% max | 0.010% max |
Standard size: 10–12 kg ingots.
Basic Pig Iron
Primarily used in electric arc furnace steelmaking.
