Iron & Steel

Germany, the Russian Federation, Italy, Belgium, and Japan were the top five exporters of Steel Rebar in the world in 2017 and 2018. Steel Rebar is used to reinforce buildings and structures. The development of infrastructures and construction affects the steel rebar trade. So, it is imported by the countries where construction is prospering.   […]

Introduction to Sponge Iron The great resources of iron ore and the vast resources of manpower and energy have kept manufacturers’ attention focusing on using sponge iron instead of scrap iron. In the direct reduction method, it has been tried for the iron ore oxygen to be almost completely removed before melting. Considering the fact […]

Steelmaking Methods One of the most important industrial processes is steel manufacturing. It has followed civilization’s technological development because of its characteristics of high strength and ductility. In fact, three different ways of steel production are: The Blast Furnace (BF) The Direct Reduction (DR) The Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) The Blast Furnace (BF) plants were […]

Wire rod is a rolled steel product (alloy or non-alloy) manufactured from semi-finished steel with a rectangular, rounded, hexagonal, or squared shape. Fine cross-sections are especially reached by a sequential cold drawing. The wire rod is wrapped around the coils and carried in this form. Steel Wire Rod Hs Code: 7213 (Steel Wire Rod, Steel […]

The final result of rolling ingots in a rolling mill, Steel Slab, is defined as a semi-finished steel product, which is sometimes produced by processing ingots using a continuous casting process. With rectangular cross-sections, steel slabs are used as beginner metals in the production of flat products such as hot rolled coils or steel plates. […]

A rebar (Reinforcing Bar) is a ferrous steel deformed bar that is used for reinforcement, strengthening & holding concrete. It is usually formed with a surface that is patterned (known as a deformed bar) to make a better adherence to the concrete spilled around it. No specific or special patterns are there for deforming. However, […]

Introduction of Still Billet The steel, which is made freshly and is still in the form of a rectangle or a metal bar, is referred to as a steel billet. Steel has to be processed into more useful pieces first before its products get sold into the market. In its pure form, raw steel will […]

The image below shows the hot briquetting process of HBI production. The DRI (Direct Reduced Iron) is released hot from the reduction process. The hot feed thrust into the nip in the middle of the two counterrotating rollers. The briquettes form in the rotating rollers. The above process happens at 650 -700 °C temperature and […]

Sponge iron production process The sponge iron production process discussed herein is selected from known methods, the references of which are available and referable. We look at the four different methods of producing sponge iron: Midrex process HYL process (4th generation) or Energiron SL / RN process Tunnel furnace process     1) Midrex process […]

Sponge iron, also known as DRI, is obtained from the direct reduction of iron pellets. The name of the product is due to its form of porous spherical (pellet) with a sponge-like appearance. Sponge Iron has a high grade of iron, which is more used today due to the shortage of iron scrap and its […]
