Isdemir Payas
operatingIskenderun Demir ve Celik AŞ · BF–BOF Integrated route · Payas, Europe, Türkiye
Isdemir Payas makes steel by the integrated route: iron ore is smelted into liquid hot metal in a blast furnace, then refined into crude steel in a basic oxygen furnace. The liquid steel is solidified into semi-finished shapes by continuous casting. The plant has a crude steel capacity of about 5.8 million tonnes per year. Its main products are wire rod, sheet, plate, billet, coil, pig iron, flat, slab.
