Stavian Industrial Metal supplies Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), also known as sponge iron, a high-iron metal produced by removing oxygen from iron ore without smelting. With stable quality, low impurity content, and clear origin, Stavian Industrial Metal’s DRI meets international standards and is trusted by customers both domestically and globally.

DRI is used as an important supplementary feedstock for scrap in steelmaking processes, contributing to improved mix quality and metallurgical efficiency in various production technologies such as electric arc furnaces (EAF) and blast furnaces/converters (BF/BOF).

Currently, DRI is classified into three main forms: cold DRI (CDRI), hot DRI (HDRI), and hot briquetted iron (HBI). HBI has higher density and better stability, making it suitable for international trade and long-distance transportation.

Due to its highly reactive nature, the product is subject to strict management of transportation and storage conditions to ensure safety and maintain quality throughout the entire supply chain.
