| Manufacturing or service provision description | Description of the manufacturing process The production of Coated steels by TYASA begins with the reception, weighing, and storage of steel scrap, which is preheated and subsequently melted in a Quantum electric arc furnace (EAF) using electricity and natural gas. Once molten, the steel is refined through the addition of ferroalloys and undergoes a vacuum degassing process to remove dissolved gases and impurities that could affect the material quality. The molten steel is solidified on rollers to form a continuous strip, which then passes through a mill to adjust its thickness (CASTRIP® process). The solidified strip is then processed in a hot rolling mill, where its thickness is further adjusted to meet specifications. Afterwards, the rolled steel is cooled under controlled conditions and coiled, resulting in a hot-rolled coil that is not sold but used as raw material for final products. After that, the hot-rolled sheet undergoes internal stress leveling to prevent defects during subsequent rolling operations. This is followed by pickling, a surface cleaning stage that removes oxides and contaminants using high-pressure metallic abrasives. Before applying coatings, sheets undergo chemical washing using caustic soda to ensure optimal adhesion. The coating process begins with the uncoiling of the sheet, followed by cutting and welding, and then reheating at temperatures ranging from 460°C to 800°C. During galvanizing, the strip is submerged in molten zinc, which adheres to the surface, and is then cooled. A final tempering or stress leveling step is applied to improve dimensional stability, followed by chemical passivation treatment for corrosion resistance. For painted products, a coating layer is applied and cured (baked) in ovens, with drying and cooling stages in between. Once coated, the strip are coiled, strapped, and stored. |

| Technology description including background system | The product consists of coated steels manufactured by TYASA from steel scrap, mainly galvanized and prepainted galvanized steel sheets produced from cold-rolled steel. After cold rolling, the steel undergoes a hot-dip galvanizing process in which it is coated with zinc to provide corrosion protection, and for painted products an additional organic coating is applied and cured. These products are supplied as coils, sheets, or strips for applications such as air conditioning systems, electrical enclosures, metal furniture, and other industrial uses. The material composition is dominated by steel scrap (≈88%), with smaller contributions from lime products, aluminum, zinc, and coatings, while packaging materials represent less than 1% of the total mass. The manufacturing process includes scrap melting in an electric arc furnace, casting, hot and cold rolling, pickling, chemical washing, galvanizing, optional painting, tempering, and surface passivation, resulting in coated steels with controlled dimensions, surface quality, and corrosion resistance. |
