About Iron Ore (Raw)
Iron ore is the primary raw material for steel production, accounting for approximately 98% of mined iron's industrial application. Major traded grades include hematite (Fe2O3, 65-70% iron content) and magnetite (Fe3O4, 60-65% iron content), often standardized as pellets or fines with specified iron percentages and gangue compositions. Australia, Brazil, and India dominate global production and exports, collectively supplying over 75% of internationally traded volumes. China is the world's largest importer. Quality assessment requires verification of iron content, silica levels, phosphorus content, and moisture specifications, as these directly impact blast furnace efficiency and final steel quality. Buyers should prioritize certificates of analysis and understand penalty clauses for off-specification deliveries.
