Cast iron is made from pig iron,

which is the product of melting iron ore in a blast furnace.

Depending on the application, carbon and silicon content are adjusted to the desired levels,

As A Result may be anywhere from 2–3.5% and 1–3%, respectively.

If desired, other elements are then added to the melt before the final form is produced by casting.

Cast iron is sometimes melted in a special type of blast furnace known as a cupola,

But in modern applications, it is more often melted in electric induction furnaces or electric arc furnaces.[citation needed]
