Approach

In an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of steelmaking, there is and will be an increased usage of scrap for the production of steel. The recycling of scrap metals inevitably leads to the ‘unintentional’ alloying of the steel produced with “residual” elements. The amount of the residual elements will depend on various factors, including the quality of scrap, the prior application from which the scrap steel originates and the efficiency of scrap sorting. The residual elements can affect the processing conditions of the steel and its final mechanical properties depending on the nature of their presence in steel.

MOWSES will be the first systematic study on the effect of many residual elements in larger concentrations expected from the future green steels produced by the Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) route, particularly in the welding HAZ of heavy plates in a wide range of strength levels and delivery conditions. MOWSES will not only investigate individual effects, but also synergetic effects between different residual elements.
