Steel HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron)

Hot Briquetted Iron (HBI) is a type of direct reduced iron (DRI) that has been compacted into dense, briquette form while still hot. It is used as a raw material in electric arc furnaces (EAF) or blast furnaces for steelmaking. HBI provides a reliable, high-quality source of iron with lower impurities compared to scrap steel.
SKU: RAW-11

Specifications:
 • Material: Direct reduced iron (DRI), produced by reducing iron ore (usually in the form of iron oxide) in a furnace without melting
 • Shape: Briquette form, usually measuring around 100mm x 100mm x 50mm
 • Weight: Briquettes typically weigh around 6 to 10 kg per unit
 • Density: Typically 5.0 to 6.5 g/cm³, offering high density for easy handling and transportation
 • Carbon Content: Low carbon content, typically less than 2%
 • Iron Content (Fe): Typically 90-94% iron content
 • Manufacturing Process:
 • Produced by the reduction of iron ore using natural gas or coal in a direct reduction process
 • The hot iron is then compacted into briquettes at high temperatures (around 650°C to 700°C)
 • Applications:
 • Used in electric arc furnaces (EAF) for producing steel, particularly in regions where scrap supply is limited or of lower quality
 • Used as a substitute for scrap steel in steel production, offering high purity and reduced energy consumption
 • Ideal for steelmaking industries seeking efficient and high-quality iron sources for various steel products, such as flat steel, long steel, and other specialized alloys
 • Can be used as a feedstock for integrated steel mills in place of pig iron
