According to local media reports, the Iranian sheet steel manufacturer Mobarakeh Steel Company (MSC) has taken a new step towards the development of Iran's steel industry for the first time and has successfully started mass production of octagonal slabs. This advanced product is expected to play a crucial role in achieving self-sufficiency in the country's strategically important oil, gas and energy sectors. Apart from its technical value, this achievement reflects Iran's ability to master sophisticated steel technologies and compete with the world's leading manufacturers.
The strategic importance of octagonal slabs
Octagonal slabs are advanced steel products designed with unique geometries that enhance durability and usability in high-pressure industrial applications. Their production in Iran marks a strategic step towards industrial independence by reducing dependence on imports for critical infrastructure projects.
Cost reduction
Octagonal slab production leads to a significant reduction in production costs by 10-15 percent compared to traditional methods. This cost reduction may have a direct impact on the final price of finished products of the Iranian steel industry, which is currently facing high costs.
