There’s literally everything in scrap metal, aren’t there compounds that will worsen the quality of the steel produced?
In: Chemistry
They melt scrap metal and other ores to make a steel mixture. Then they analyze that mixture and add compounds to produce the mix that they want. If the scrap was low in chromium, they add more. If it was high in carbon or nickel then dilute it with more iron or pull the excess out chemically.
Only when the mix is right to they make something out of it.
