It is a spongy mass
of iron, which is
created by reducing
iron ores into
metallic iron. The
process involves use
of carbon at
temperatures below
the melting point of
iron. Sponge iron is
not useful in
itself, but must be
processed to create
wrought iron.
Producing sponge
iron and then
working with it was
the earliest method
used to obtain iron
in the Middle East,
Egypt and Europe
where it remained in
use until at least
the 16th century.
Sponge Iron is
manufactured at our
plants in Burdwan,
Durgapur, Raniganj
and Sambalpur. |
