  • Turkey’s Winding Wire Market Outlook Report

      

    9,694
    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Winding wire is part of the copper products supply chain, in the wire and cable category. Winding wire (usually with an enamel coating) is used in automotive, electronic and electromechanical equipment, home appliances, and lighting. As one of the early steps in the supply chain of wires and cables with metal conductors, metal wire rod is drawn into wires in different diameters, which are then coated with different insulations based on applications. The quality of the conductor and the enamel used in the production of winding wire significantly affects the end product; production technology also affects the quality of winding wire. In older technologies, annealing followed drawing, but in more recent technologies, the two processes are carried out simultaneously, saving time and costs.

  • Turkey’s Mined Iron Ore Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    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.

  • Oman’s Steel Cold-Formed Sections Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Steel cold-formed sections (CFS) are produced in various shapes with wide applications in different industries. The construction industry is the largest consumer of CFS in columns, frames, doors and windows, fences, and railings. Steel CFS is produced in two forms: open-seam and welded sections with various industrial and constructional applications. A major portion of CFS is used in manufacturing doors and windows. CFS with small square and rectangular cross sections is used as grill for doors and windows, railings for staircases, and fences. Open CFS sections are used in the ceilings of industrial sheds and guardrails. Estimates suggest that Oman’s steel CFS market will decline over the coming years compared to the previous years, even without supply tightness of sheets.

  • Oman’s Copper Wire Rod Market Outlook Report

      

    9,694
    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Copper wire rod includes products with diameters of 6mm or greater (known as rod) and smaller than 6mm (known as wire). It includes the following types (in all cross sections):

    • Electrolytic cathode wire rod (ASTM B49 standard)
    • Oxygen-free wire rod (ASTM B49 standard)
    • Oxygen-free alloy wire rod (EN1977)

    The first two types of wire rod have a minimum copper content of 99.99%. Alloy wire rod contains trace amounts (less than 0.1%) of silver with a total copper-silver content of 99.99%.

    It should be noted that clean, high-grade scrap is used as part of the furnace feed in the production of copper wire rod, but this depends on production technology. Wire rod produced from scrap usually requires control and further processing to be converted into standard products for electrical applications. Thus, wire rod from scrap is partly used in non-electrical applications.

  • Turkey’s Copper PSSF Market Outlook Report

      

    9,694
    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Flat copper products include plates, sheets, strips, and foil (PSSF). They are available as pure copper products as well as alloy products. Sheets, strips, and foils are available both in coils and pre-cut pieces. Alloy PSSF, especially brass products, have the widest range of applications; these are used in switches, sockets, electrical connectors, artisanal handicrafts, ammunition, and automobile radiators. Copper PSSF are also used in electrical connectors, printed circuit boards, HVAC, home appliances, artisanal handicrafts, and shipbuilding. Moreover, electrical applications, coin blanks, and telecom equipment are some of the most important applications of alloy PSSF such as copper-nickel, bronze-tin, and bronze-phosphorus.

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Thanks to their various shapes, aluminum extrusions have wide applications in different industries. Among the consumer industries, the construction sector is the largest consumer of extrusions in curtain walls and aluminum doors and windows. Estimates suggest that Turkey’s aluminum extrusion market will expand over the coming years thanks to improved exports. On the demand side, consumption is expected to grow as construction increases.

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Produced in different thicknesses, steel galvanized rolled coils (GRC) have a range of applications in industries. GRC can be converted into pre-painted galvanized iron (PPGI) or directly used in various industries. It is also used as raw material to produce pipes and sections. The construction industry is the largest consumer of GRC. Estimates suggest that Oman’s GRC market will be facing oversupply in the coming years.

  • Iran’s Coal Coke Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    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. Coke is mostly used in blast furnaces to produce steel, but it is also used in other non-metal industries such as sugar industries and power plants.

  • Oman’s Aluminum Unwrought Market Outlook Report

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Aluminum smelters (unwrought producers) fall into two categories: primary and secondary smelters. Molten aluminum cast as unwrought products can be produced either through alumina electrolysis in primary smelters or through remelting scrap and pure ingots in secondary smelters. Primary smelting is a cost-intensive process; thus, such plants are usually large-scale producers that can be economical with large capacities. But remelting aluminum in secondary smelters requires much lower costs, making small-scale capacities economical.

    Aluminum smelting and the production of unwrought aluminum in Oman have mainly started after primary smelting began and Sohar’s smelters came online. Sohar Aluminium Company was established in 2004 and operations started since 2008. Accounting for almost two thirds of the country’s total unwrought output, Sohar offers its products to the market mainly as ingots or T-bars; however, the largest part of the company’s domestic sales is in the form of hot metal to downstream plants nearby, with ingots and T-bars being mostly exported. The other one third of the country’s unwrought output is by secondary smelters that produce alloys. Unwrought products such as slabs and bus bars are the most important ones produced by secondary smelters in Oman.

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    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.

    • TRY: 475,000 ₺

    Steel wire is produced in different diameters based on its applications. The construction industry is the largest consumer of wire in reinforced concrete (to tie rebar) for the frames and foundations of buildings. Consumable goods such as cages, meshes, and springs with various applications are also instances of steel wire consumption. Estimates suggest that Iran’s steel wire market will have relative growth and oversupply over the coming years. On the demand side, despite higher prices in rial terms due to the depreciation of the rial against the US dollar, demand for steel wire will increase.

    Produced in different sizes, welded steel pipes have various applications in a number of industries. Infrastructure is the largest consumer of welded steel pipes in the oil and gas industry. Estimates suggest that Iran’s sections market will have relative growth and supply surplus in the coming years. On the demand side, despite higher prices in rial terms due to the depreciation of the rial against the US dollar, demand for welded steel pipes will strengthen as infrastructure budget increases.
