The Iron and Steel industry in India is among the most important industries within the country. India surpassed Japan as the second largest steel producer in January 2019. [ 1 ] As per worldsteel , India's crude steel production in 2018 was at 106.5 million tonnes (MT), 4.9% increase from 101.5 MT in 2017, which means that India overtook Japan ...
Direct reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, [1] is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) into iron by a reducing gas which contains elemental carbon (produced from natural gas or coal) and/or hydrogen. When hydrogen is used as the reducing gas no carbon dioxide is produced.
It is one of the largest manufacturers of ductile iron pipes in the Indian sub-continent, having a production capacity of 280,000 MT per annum. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Electrosteel was the pioneer in setting up a Ductile Iron Spun Pipe Plant in India in 1994 and is among the five largest producers of Spun Iron pipes in the world.
The company manufactures and sells sponge iron, mild steel slabs, rails, mild steel, structural, hot rolled plates, iron ore pellets, and coils. [6] Jindal Steel and Power set up the world's first MXCOL plant at Angul, Odisha that uses the locally available and cheap high-ash coal and turns it into synthesis gas for steel making, reducing the ...
A bloomery is a type of metallurgical furnace once used widely for smelting iron from its oxides. The bloomery was the earliest form of smelter capable of smelting iron. Bloomeries produce a porous mass of iron and slag called a bloom. The mix of slag and iron in the bloom, termed sponge iron, is usually consolidated and further forged into ...
The HIsarna ironmaking process is a direct reduced iron process for iron making in which iron ore is processed almost directly into liquid iron ().The process combines two process units, the Cyclone Converter Furnace (CCF) for ore melting and pre-reduction and a Smelting Reduction Vessel (SRV) where the final reduction stage to liquid iron takes place.
