6. Iron Making Process
Iron Ore
(extracted to get)
Iron (Base Metal)
Hot Metal (Liquid Iron)
It is the hot, liquid, metallic iron
product obtained upon reduction of
iron ore
Primary input for production of
steel in the Integrated Steel Plant
Pig Iron
product in solid (lumpy) form
obtained upon solidification of Hot
Metal in Pig Casting Machine
Foundry Grade Pig Iron
Pig iron used in the Foundries for
production of Cast Iron (CI)
Castings . This is the major use of
pig iron.
Basic/Steel Making Grade Pig Iron
Pig iron (including hot metal) used
for production of Steel.
SI – Sponge Iron
DRI – Direct Reduced Iron
HBI – Hot Briquetted Iron
SI/ DRI/HBI
DRI / SI: Solid metallic iron product obtained upon
Direct Reduction of high grade iron ore in solid
state itself without being converted into liquid form
like that in Blast Furnace.
HBI: At times the DRI/SI coming out from the
furnace is converted into a bigger compact mass
i.e. Briquettes for ease in transportation/charging in
steel making furnace, which are known as Hot
Briquetted Iron (HBI)

Integrated Producers / Primary Steel Producers – those
that convert Iron Ore to Steel
Secondary Producers - These are the mini steel plants
(MSPs), which make steel by melting scrap or sponge iron
or a mixture of the two
Ferro Alloys – refers to various alloys of iron with a high
proportion of one or more other elements, manganese or
silicon for example. It is used in the production of steels
and alloys as a raw material

BF Productivity – measured in terms of tonnes of hot metal produced,
per cubic meter of blast furnace volume, per day (T/cubic met/day)
Coke Rate : This is measured in Kgs. of BF Coke consumed per
tonne of Hot Metal produced in the Blast Furnace(Kg/THM). By
convention, this excludes coke (nut/pearl coke) mixed with sinter etc.
Energy Consumption : This is measured in Giga Calorie (i.e. 1000
million calorie) per tonne of Crude Steel produced(Gcal/TCS).
Power Consumption : This is measured in terms of Number of units of
electrical power consumed in KWH per tonne of crude steel produced
(KWH/TCS).
Refractory Consumption : This is measured in terms of total refractory
consumed per tonne of crude steel(Kg/TC).
