To obtain steel from pig iron, it needs to go through refining. Pig iron is melted, while the impurities are removed through oxidation. Manganese, nickel and chromium are added to improve the steel’s properties. The steel produced through these processes is shaped through rolling, pressing, casting, and forging.
