| Abstract Scope |
Scrap-based steel production using Electric Arc Furnace leads to drastic reduction of CO2 emissions. It also favours a Circular Economy production model with reduced foreign dependency. However, this is currently not possible for high-performance applications, where the less flexible and more contaminant Blast Furnace- Basic Oxygen Furnace route is used. Moreover, low-quality scrap also affects the final performance of the steel.
This work aims to investigate how residual elements interact with sheet Steel metallurgy and its performance. This will be done by combining state-of-the-art methodologies with specialised resources, such as Synchrotron and Atom Probe Tomography.
In addition, to maximise the use of low-quality scrap as a raw material and improve its quality, techniques that separate undesired inclusions from the main stream of steel are used. |
