ANALYSIS OF THE METAL LOAD STRUCTURE WHEN DESIGNING STEELS IN ELECTRIC ARC FURNACES
Abstract
In the steel industry, scrap metal is an important raw material resource for the electric arc furnace. The overall steel recycling rate is estimated at around 85%. The work presents an analysis of the structure of the metal load when elaborating steels in electric arc furnaces. The metal load consists of different categories of scrap metal. The influence of the quality of these types of waste on the recycling process and on the finished product by investigating the effect of the composition of the load on the steel removal is presented.
