Put a ceramic mold in the slots on the right side of the forge, and then heat the refined bloom in the forge. It will melt into a liquid wrought iron unshaped ingot. Once you have both of them as liquid temperature, put one in your hand and right click to open up the casting interface. It will automatically put the one you clicked in the slot on the left, then put the second one in the first slot on the right (there is a ghost image of the unshaped ingot) to combine them.

When I make iron bloom, i use rich ores if possible. You end up with a 840% bloom. (24 ores with a value of 35)

After I split them, I put all 100% blooms in the forge and melt them down. (don't forget the ceramic molds)

I collect the blooms with less than 100% until i have a view. Then heat up a crucible and melt them down there. That way you can easily create full ingots from leftovers

REFINED blooms < 100% (produced by splitting a Refine bloom >100% that is not a multiple of 100%) can be melted in the forge to make a partial ingot that can be combined with other partial ingots.

 

RAW blooms <100% (produced when your total bloomery output is less than 100%) have to be thrown back into the bloomery with more charcoal and ore until it surpasses 100%.

Refined blooms CAN be put in the crucible as well, regardless of their %.  I always heat the raw, work, split, then toss them in my crucible.
