Pig Iron Chunk
Pig Iron Chunk comes from two places: the helve hammer sheds it off a pig on the anvil, and a Sand Casting Bed pour that does not fill a whole pig impression casts chunks and shot directly, with no pig ever forming. It carries 25 units against the pig's 375 and the shot's 5. Chunks, shot and whole pigs alike remelt at the same flat rate in a Cupola, so breaking a pig down changes nothing about the metal it eventually recovers - only how it fits a smaller charge or a recipe that wants a partial pig.
