Solution

Puddling is the process of coverting pig iron into wrought iron by subjecting it to heat and frequent stirring in a furnace in the presence of oxidizing substances.

The puddling process was already known in ancient China during the Han Dynasty by the 1st century AD. The advance in steel making processes improved the overall quality of steel by repeated forging, folding, and stacking of wrought iron from pig iron to make swords.

So the given statement is true.
