Description Iron ore and concentrate are two types of raw materials used to produce steel. Iron ore is a mixture of iron oxides and silicates. Concentrate is a higher quality type of ore that contains less than 63% iron. Concentrate is predominantly used in steel production, while iron ore is used to make steel, ferroalloys, and other products.
