Description
Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steel is one way to enhance the production of wire rods that satisfy the user in terms of quality, reliable performance and costs. However, tramp elements originating from scrap greatly affect the physical properties of wire rod. The use of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) for EAF steels leads to a high quality product with reduced tramp (residual) levels and excellent drawability. The effect of DRI and practical limits of the content of residuals are shown in the performance of extra low carbon grades, high carbon qualities and CO2 welding wire.
