Khorasan Steel Company set a record in monthly direct-reduced iron production, as it produced 128,029 tons of the steelmaking material in the 10th month of the current fiscal year (Dec. 22, 2017-Jan. 20), the head of the company’s direct reduction plant said. “The northeastern Khorasan Razavi Province-based steelmaker’s previous output record was 127,128 tons registered in August 2013,” the company’s public relations also quoted Farshid Fazilati as saying.

The complex has a capacity to produce 550,000 tons of structural steel, 630,000 tons of billets and 1.6 million tons of direct-reduced iron per year.
