Produced through MIDREX® Method
Bafgh Steel Sponge Iron, whose production commenced in the second half of 2022, currently stands as one of the highest-quality sponge irons in the country’s market. Adopting the highest technology available globally, adhering to environmental standards, and sourcing quality raw materials have all played pivotal roles in positioning Bafgh Steel at the forefront of the industry.
The iron ore pellets required by the factory are supplied from neighboring pelletizing facilities. Due to the abundant nearby mineral resources, these pellets enjoy highly favorable purity and chemical properties. In the direct reduction process, in the presence of hot reducing gases, these pellets undergo a reduction reaction, losing some of the oxygen they contain and transforming into sponge iron.

Bafgh Steel [Sponge Iron] Chemical Analysis
The chemical analysis of sponge iron is crucial for the steelmaking industries. In addition to the importance of the iron element purity in sponge iron, the presence of small percentages of other elements also impacts the final mechanical properties of the obtained steel. Therefore, at Bafgh Steel, we endeavor to consistently produce high-quality sponge iron with minimal variations in elemental composition.
The low phosphorus content and the appropriate iron percentage in the alloy steel sponge make this product suitable for use in both induction and electric arc furnaces.
