Erdemir will produce steel sheet for Türkiye’s national aircraft carrier

According to a statement released by Erdemir, the plate products required for the MUGEM project will be produced at the company’s plate rolling mill. Within the scope of project preparations, supply agreements have been signed with Sedef and Sefine shipyards. It was reported that the first batch of the planned plates was delivered to the manufacturing companies at the end of January.

It was stated that the steels to be used in the construction of MUGEM are produced using direct iron ore as the primary raw material. All processes from the chemical composition of the steel to its mechanical performance are carefully controlled from the very beginning of production.

The shipbuilding plates to be manufactured under the project are said to offer superior weldability and formability, along with high toughness and strength values.

As one of Türkiye’s leading domestic plate producers, Erdemir is expected to contribute to MUGEM considered one of the largest projects of the Turkish defense industry with its high production capacity and manufacturing infrastructure that meets international quality standards.
