Until the development of blast furnaces in the late Middle Ages, iron was produced in blast furnaces or blast hearths. Temperatures in these furnaces are only around 1200–1300°C. Therefore, the iron does not melt in the blast furnace; instead, the rock residue contained in the iron ore liquefies at these temperatures and flows (hence the name!) into the lower part of the furnace.
The remaining, slag-containing, spongy lump of iron is called a lump of ingot, and must be removed from slag and charcoal residue by folding and hammering to produce pure iron.
