The name ''pig iron'' originated in the early days of iron-ore reduction when the total output of the blast furnace was sand cast into ''pigs'' a mass of iron roughly resembling the shape of a reclining pig. The oldest method of pig casting in sandbeds has been largely superseded by pig casting machines.
