    Recycle

    Melting steel products at the end of their


    useful life to create new steels.

    Steel has been recycled ever since it was


    first made. All available steel scrap is
    recycled, over and over again to create new
    steel products in a closed material loop.

    Some Interesting facts about steel

    • Steel grades: why there are so many steel


    grades? Correlation between heat
    treatment, microstructure and mechanical
    properties

    • For a same composition e.g. for the same


    carbon content, there can be various
    grades with varying microstructure and
    the mechanical properties

    • There are thousands of steel grades that


    can be classified as plain carbon steels
    and the alloys steels.
