Metal

Before steel products are sold on the market, the steel must first be processed into more functional pieces. Raw steel cannot be of use while in its pure form, thus it has to be cast into shape. The freshly made steel, which is still in the form of a metal bar or rectangle, is called steel billet.
billet is a length of metal that has a round or square cross-section, with an area less than 36 in2 (230 cm2). Billets are created directly via continuous casting or extrusion or indirectly via hot rolling an ingot or bloom. Billets are further processed via profile rolling and drawing.
NGN has an ability to export steel billet from the best steel producer in Iran and has exported around 400,000 MT to the Middle east. 

Usage
Billet used for final steel production such as Structural steels, Beams, Round bar, Square Bar and Structural profiles.

Direct reduced iron (DRI), also called sponge iron, is produced from the direct reduction of iron ore (in the form of lumps, pellets, or fines) to iron by a reducing gas or elemental carbon produced from natural gas or coal. Many ores are suitable for direct reduction.
DRI is successfully manufactured through either gas or coal-based technology. Iron ore is reduced in solid state at 800-1050 c either by reducing gas (H2+CO) or coal. The direct reduction process uses palletized iron or natural ‘lump’ ore.

 
Usage
Today, sponge iron is created by reducing iron ore without melting it. This makes for an energy-efficient feedstock for specialty steel manufacturers which used to rely upon scrap metal.
While the produced DRI is mainly used as the raw material of electric steelmaking, it is also used as blast furnace feed for energy saving (reduction in coke consumption) and increased production of molten iron at integrated blast furnace steelworks.
Energy saving (reduction in consumption of coal in blast furnaces)
The use of DRI as blast furnace feed enables reduction in coal consumption in blast furnaces.

Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) is a premium form of DRI that has been compacted at a temperature greater than 650° C at time of compaction and has a density greater than 5,000 kilograms per cubic meter (5,000 kg/m³).

HBI was developed as a product in order to overcome the problems associated with shipping and handling of DRI - due to the process of compaction it is very much less porous and therefore very much less reactive than DRI and does not suffer from the risk of self-heating associated with DRI.

The principle market for HBI is electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking, but HBI also finds application as a trim coolant in basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steelmaking and as blast furnace feedstock.

HBI is a supplement for pig iron and scrap in electric furnace steel mills. It is a compacted form of direct reduced iron (DRI), which facilitates its handling, storage, and use.

We source our HBI from producers in Iran.
