    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Ferroalloys are the most important consumables for steelmakers, used to remove impurities or produce steel alloys. Ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, and ferrosilicomanganese are some of the most commonly used ferroalloys. Ferrosilicomanganese, which contains both manganese and silicon, has a growing market ahead; the share of this ferroalloy in providing the manganese required in steelmaking is rapidly growing, en route to dominate the ferromanganese market among global steelmakers.

  • Saudi Arabia’s DRI Market Outlook Report

      

    9,698
    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Direct-reduced iron (DRI) is produced in a solid process that converts iron ore pellets or fines into pure iron by being reduced using reducing agents. DRI products are divided into three categories based on shape and appearance: sponge iron, briquettes, and fine; fine is usually used as cold-briquetted iron. DRI can also be categorized based on production process: direct-reduced using coal, and direct-reduced using natural gas. A major part of the Middle East as one of the most important sources of natural gas has been dominated by DRI products using natural gas.

    Although producing steel using DRI requires electric furnaces, of there are plenty of in Turkey (EAFs), DRI accounts for a very small share of crude steel output in the country. Recycling and remelting scrap accounts for approximately a quarter of the country’s steel output. Notwithstanding, sponge iron and DRI are the main and only substitutes for scrap for the massive crude steel market in Turkey when raw materials are tight.

  • Turkey’s Coal Coke Market Outlook Report

      

    9,698
    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Coke is one of the important consumables in the production of steel using blast furnaces; on average, about 600 kg of coke is required to produce one tonne of crude steel. In addition to providing thermal energy for melting in blast furnaces, coke also releases reducing agents (gases) to reduce iron oxide, facilitating the production of iron and steel. The main part of coke is used in blast furnaces to produce steel, but it is also used in other non-metal industries sush as sugar industries and power plants.

  • Turkey’s Mined Iron Ore Market Outlook Report

      

    9,698
    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Iron ore from mines generally has a grade below 50%; using it to produce crude steel, although technically possible, incurs high production costs and the economy is annulled due to the low recovery rate. Thus, most steelmakers use iron ore with grades above 60% to economically justify their operations. Iron ore can be divided into magnetite and hematite ore depending on ore type. Mined iron ore is mostly used in steelmaking, with only a small part of lower-quality ore types used in other industries such as cement production.

  • Turkey’s Iron Ore Pellet Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Iron ore pellets generally fall into two categories: direct reduction grade, and blast furnace grade. Direct reduction pellets are mostly used in the production of DRI and usually have higher grades and premiums, while blast furnace pellets are used in blast furnaces and generally have lower premiums. Since DRI is not produced in Turkey, it can be concluded that the majority of pellets used in the country are blast furnace grade. It should be noted that blast furnaces account for less than a third of the country’s crude steel output.

  • Turkey’s Iron Ore Fine and Concentrate Market Outlook Report

      

    9,698
    • TRY: 365,000 ₺

    Iron ore from mines generally has a grade below 50%; using it to produce crude steel, although technically possible, incurs high production costs and the economy is annulled due to the low recovery rate. Thus, most steelmakers use iron ore with grades above 60% to economically justify their operations. Iron ore processed to be used in the steel chain is in either of two forms: fine, and concentrate. Moreover, iron ore can be divided into magnetite and hematite ore depending on ore type. The easier processing of magnetite iron ore to remove deleterious elements has resulted in higher premiums for this type of iron ore on the market.
