Objective

The increasing use of scrap can only be sustained if the quality of commercially-available scrap is improved. This research project intends to develop and refine simple and rapid methods for evaluating scrap quality in the steel shop, based on statistical analysis of production data and simple melting tests. It will focus on commercial heavy scrap and investigate the practical possibilities for eliminating foreign, non-ferrous elements by mechanical fragmentation and sorting. True value analysis of scrap will then help decide on how far these methods need to be implemented.
