YT1/YT2/YT3 High-Purity Iron Raw Material

YT1/YT2/YT3 raw materials are pure iron (furnace iron), mainly used as melting base materials, for the smelting of special alloys, permanent magnets, soft magnets, and precision alloys. They are not of the DT series of electromagnetic pure iron. They are characterized by low impurities, stable composition, and low segregation. From YT1 to YT3, the purity gradually increases, the impurity control becomes stricter, and the price is higher.

YT1

Description: The entry-level grade in the YT series of raw-material pure iron. It offers the most competitive cost and allows for a broader range of impurities, making it suitable for standard smelting processes where strict impurity limits are not required.

Product Characteristics: Low carbon content, good plasticity, and stable chemical composition. With a wider tolerance for impurities, it is well-suited for general smelting applications and offers a significant price advantage.

Applications: Standard stainless steel, common alloy steels, general casting, conventional iron-based alloys, and raw material for low-end powder metallurgy.

YT2

Description: A mid-grade raw-material pure iron. With better impurity control than the YT1 grade, it serves as the mainstream, cost-effective choice for alloy smelting and commands the highest market volume.

Product Characteristics: Ultra-low sulfur and phosphorus content, minimal inclusions, uniform composition, and high stability during the smelting process—striking an optimal balance between cost and purity.

Applications: NdFeB (neodymium-iron-boron) magnets, soft magnetic alloys, electrical alloys, mid-to-high-end stainless steel, powder metallurgy, and standard materials for amorphous alloys.

YT3

Description: A high-purity grade in the YT series of raw-material pure iron. It features strict control over all impurity indicators and the most rigorous limits on trace elements, making it the preferred choice for high-end magnetic materials and specialty alloys.

Product Characteristics: Ultra-low carbon, sulfur, and phosphorus levels; low gas content; uniform microstructure; and extremely low segregation. It ensures high consistency in the final smelted products and minimizes any negative impact on magnetic properties or corrosion resistance.

Applications: High-end NdFeB magnets, nanocrystalline/amorphous soft magnetic materials, Permalloy, superalloys, precision expansion alloys, high-purity iron-based advanced materials, and raw materials for lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cathode materials.

Warehousing Management

Before each batch of steel leaves the factory, a complete process inspection is strictly carried out. From chemical composition, mechanical properties to dimensional tolerance and surface quality, each item is carefully checked to ensure compliance with national standards and export regulations. At the same time, the quantity, packaging and rust prevention treatment are also verified. An original factory warranty certificate is attached, guaranteeing the quality. Before shipment, inspection photos are provided. Any non-compliant items will not be released, and the quality is fully controllable throughout the process. This ensures your overseas purchasing is safe and worry-free.

All items are visually inspected before delivery. No cracks, deformation, rust, scratches or cutting marks are allowed; edges must be smooth. Only visually sound products will be shipped.

Thickness, width, length, wall thickness, outer diameter have been measured. Straightness, curvature, torsion, diagonal tolerance all meet the corresponding tolerance requirements.

Quality inspection includes: mechanical property tests (yield strength, tensile strength), elongation rate, impact energy, hardness testing, chemical composition testing, process performance testing, etc.

Inspection according to packaging requirements: secure binding, moisture-proof film, rust-proof paper, export fumigation/fumigation-free wooden crates, shipping marks, gross weight, net weight, etc.

We will provide full reception services to support the customers' on-site inspection of the goods.
