Steel Facts by Virat Steels

Steel is one of the most widely used materials in the world, found in everything from buildings and bridges to cars and household appliances. Steel is 100% recyclable without any loss of quality.

But what happens when steel products reach the end of their life cycle in all these applications?

Actually, it’s not the end. Indeed, for steel there is no end, as steel is 100% and infinitely recyclable without any loss of quality. The steel in end-of-life products can be melted down to be reused in the production of new steel.

This involves several stages:

• Collection: A significant amount of scrap currently used in steelmaking processes is acquired before it reaches the marketplace. Known as prompt scrap, these are residuals of large-scale industrial manufacturing processes
• Sorting: Scrap needs to be sorted and separated based on type and quality. As steel is made from a mix of various alloys and materials, such as carbon, chromium, manganese, nickel, and others, you need to match the steel grade you want to produce with scrap that matches its properties.
• Shredding: Once sorted, large scrap metal pieces are fed into industrial shredders, which break them into smaller pieces.
• Melting and refining: The shredded scrap steel is then placed into furnaces and melted down at temperatures that can exceed 1,600°C (2,900°F), turning the steel into molten metal.
• Casting and rolling: The refined steel is then poured into moulds, cooled, and rolled into new steel products, such as sheets, bars, or beams, ready to be used as they are or to be further processed into other products.

The study delves into the value of reestablishing compositional information for steel recycling and sheds light on the dynamic nature of steel grades.
