Optimized physical strength and consistent Fe parameters, sized 3-20mm for induction and electric arc furnace charging.
We supply high-grade Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) sized lumps (typical sizing 3-20mm) procured from primary producers in Odisha and West Bengal. Sponge iron lumps serve as an excellent metallic substitute for steel scrap, which helps secondary steel mills control chemistry variations (especially trace copper and tin elements commonly found in imported scrap).
Our trade desk handles bulk logistics consolidation, railway rake programming, quality assays, and consolidated dispatch, providing rolling mills and furnace units across North India with a secure supply of raw materials.
| Parameter | Typical Limit |
|---|---|
| Total Iron (Fe-Total) | ~88.0% - 90.0% |
| Metallic Iron (Fe-Met) | ~78.0% - 80.0% |
| Degree of Metallization | ~88.0% – 90.5% |
| Carbon (C) | 0.15% – 0.25% |
| Sulphur (S) | ≤ 0.040% |
| Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.075% |
| Sizing | 3 mm – 20 mm (DRI Sized) |
| Bulk Density | 1.6 – 1.8 MT/m³ |
Note: Chemical specifications may vary based on the specific iron ore lump origin and kiln reduction process. COA parameter certificates are issued with each freight load.
Lumps are produced directly from sized iron ore lumps reduced in rotary kilns, exhibiting slightly lower bulk density and irregular shapes. Pellets are made from crushed iron ore fines agglomerated into spheres before reduction, offering higher mechanical strength and uniform spherical properties.
Sponge iron lumps typically contain carbon between 0.15% and 0.25%. This carbon serves as an additional energy source during melt induction, reacting with residual oxygen to produce carbon monoxide gas which helps stir the bath and improve heat transfer.
Pricing is indexed to ex-plant rates in Eastern India, plus railway freight rates and local transport logistics. We offer consolidated delivery prices direct to furnaces in Mandi Gobindgarh (Punjab) and nearby areas.
