Today, the export of iron products, especially pipes and profiles, is one of the most popular and profitable businesses. Iran Exports all kinds of iron profiles and pipes to countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Georgia, Tajikistan, etc. Due to the fact that the metal products produced in this industry have many applications, the importance of this industry is crystal clear. The history of the pipe and profile industry in the country has a background of more than half a century. The progress of this field of industry in Iran has been so great that it can be said that Iran’s profile and pipe industry have become almost indigenous and the country has achieved self-sufficiency in this industry, to the point where many production groups have produced pipe and profile products and exported them to many countries. Also, since Iran is under sanctions and its oil revenues have faced problems, the export of pipes and profiles has gained so much importance. On the other hand, the production of high-quality products has caused an increase in demand and as a result, an increase in the export of pipes and profiles.
Profiles are one of the most widely used sections in various industries, including the construction industry. Profiles can be categorized in different ways. For example, in a classification based on the shape of the cross-section, the profiles are divided into two groups of open and closed profiles. Also, in terms of application, profiles are categorized as industrial and construction profiles. Construction profiles, as their name suggests, are mostly used for making doors and windows and for usage in buildings, while industrial profiles are used in automobile manufacturing and the construction of facilities and machines. Construction profiles are less thick and have less strength compared to industrial profiles. Profiles are produced in different lengths of 6 and 12 meters. Before building the project, engineers must perform all the calculations of the forces of a structure and choose the appropriate profile accordingly. Also, the choice of profile should be balanced between the safety of a structure and the cost. Therefore, according to the special application of the profile in the construction industry, manufacturers are trying to produce a profile that is resistant to various accidents.
Those profiles that have an open shape are called open profiles. The types mentioned below are part of the open profile category:
⚪ Different types of Beams
⚪ Studs or U profiles
⚪ Types of Corners or L profiles
⚪ Studs or U profiles
⚪ Z profiles
⚪ Belts
These grades are used in various areas such as door and window construction, pipes, cans, electric shutters, etc.
The most used construction profiles are in the construction of doors and windows, which are available in square and rectangular forms. Also, this type has:
⚪ Uses in the construction of ready-made houses
⚪ Uses on the shelf and making the interior decoration of the building
Industrial profiles are used in large metal structures such as bridges, huge billboards, military industries, etc. Due to the production of this product from black sheets with high thickness, it is also called heavy profile. The industrial profile includes branches with a length of 12 meters and in different dimensions from 10x10 (centimeters) to 400 millimeters. All the weight specifications of the industrial profile are mentioned in the ISO EN 10219-2 standard.
A furniture profile is a product that is produced by cold rolling from the oiled sheet with a thickness of 0.7 to 1.8 and it can be shaped in different triangular, square, circular, or mixed surfaces. The weight of the furniture profile and its low thickness have named it light profile. Furniture profiles are widely used in industries and productions such as furniture and chairs, exhaust, canopies and containers, bicycle manufacturing, and household appliances. The price of the furniture profile is more expensive than the construction profile due to its material and elegance.
Z profile is a type of steel cross-section in the shape of the Latin letter Z. This profile is usually produced in sizes 16, 20, 18, and 22, with thicknesses of 2, 2.5, and 3 millimeters and lengths of 4, 6, 7 meters, and longer. If, based on the definition of the components of the Z profile, we consider its edges as the wing and the middle of it as the z profile, the back-to-back of the two wings, which will be equal to the size of the Z profile, is called the profile size. The price of the Z profile is almost the same as the construction and industrial profiles. Z profile has two Iranian national standards 3694 and 5722.
In the galvanized profile, a steel or iron coating is used to prevent rust. This coating created by zinc protects the steel from corrosion. The galvanized profile is used in workshops, public transportation, highways, buildings, airports, energy transmission and communication lines, etc. The galvanized profile is produced in three methods: hot dip galvanized steel, pre-galvanized steel, and electro-galvanized steel.
Today, a very large share of the market has been taken by composite profiles. These profiles are suitable and used in weather conditions where the possibility of corrosion is very high. The reason for using these profiles is to prevent the phenomenon of corrosion and increase the life of the structure against vibrations. The non-elastic properties of composite profiles provide durability, longer life and better performance against earthquakes. In terms of climatic conditions in the north and south, Iran has a very wide need for composite profiles. Many structures, such as the bridges of Lake Urmia or buildings in the south of the country, have corrosion problems, and this problem can be solved with these profiles.
The steel profile is made of steel and stainless steel and has the same cross-section and is found as stretched or pressed types. One of the most important applications of steel profiles is to connect two pieces together. Cans and profiles fill the border between two devices. Steel profiles have square and rectangular sections and can be seen in different sizes.
Despite the restrictions and sanctions, Iran has been able to perform relatively strongly in the field of pipe and profile exports, and in 2021, with the production of 29 million tons of steel, Iran was ranked tenth in the world. The high production volume of steel factories has made it possible for Iran's steel industry to export its surplus products to other countries in addition to meeting domestic needs. Iran's steel production volume in the best conditions will be around 20 million tons, while this figure for China with 52 steel production units is around 822 million tons. According to these statistics, it is clear that Iran needs extensive efforts to maintain and improve this position in the future.
