Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) is a high-purity metallic material used in steelmaking, produced by the direct reduction of iron ore using natural gas or hydrogen without the need for traditional blast furnaces. DRI is characterized by its high iron content and low impurities, making it an ideal feedstock for Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) and integrated steel plants. The use of DRI enhances steel quality, reduces energy consumption, and provides precise control over chemical composition, improving efficiency and productivity in modern steel manufacturing processes.
