The metallurgical industry has long been the backbone of industrial progress—fueling infrastructure, manufacturing, transportation, and countless other sectors. However, as global competition intensifies and sustainability goals grow more urgent, traditional metallurgical processes are under increasing pressure to become smarter, safer, and more efficient. One of the most transformative developments in this evolution is the rise …

Direct reduction of iron
The second “green” direction, which has been used in metallurgy for a long time, is the production of semifinished products for subsequent steelmaking by direct reduction of iron from high-iron raw materials by special technologies (Midrex, Arex, Hyl, etc.). The output is the so-called metallized raw material – hot-briquetted iron (HBI), metallized pellets DRI (Direct …
Hydrogen versus carbon
It is no longer necessary to prove to anyone the need to switch to “green steel production,” which is intended to make the production process more environmentally friendly. There are several directions in this direction. The first of these is now considered the most promising – the abandonment of carbon in favor of hydrogen. The …
Trends in global metallurgy
Metallurgy is actually not as conservative an industry as is commonly believed, and it is not lagging behind other industries in following major global trends. The main emphasis today is on “green steel production. This will enable the industry to withstand environmental problems and regulatory pressure. The growing demand for high-quality steel grades will require …
