Introduction
ArcelorMittal sponsor company
Developing a machine that recycles steel
Cost efficiency and benefits
Satisfying the client

Prototype Step One: Scrap Preparation
Collect steel for placement on conveyer system
Work steel to appropriate size
Distribute steel evenly on conveyer for further examination

Step Two: Scrap Composition Analysis
Overhead emitter fires bursts of single-frequency x-rays at steel scraps
Detector analyzes time for waves to “bounce back” and changes in energy.
Computer uses data to construct digital rendering of size and composition of scraps

Step Three: Scrap Separation
Pressurized water jets “shoot” AHSS scraps onto upper conveyer, lets LCAK scraps fall onto lower conveyer
Computer uses digital rendering and conveyer speed to determine how strong water burst should be

Chemistry
Very difficult to determine for many alloys
Example – Columbium Aim: 0.004% Max Already in Steel: 0.00% HC Percentage: 66.00% Recovery Percentage: 90.00%
Calculation:0.1% Cb/Steel * 440,000 lb Heat Size = 17.6 lb Cb17.6 lb Cb / (66% HC Cb * 90% Recovery) = 29.629 lb Cb
440,000 lb Heat Size * 85% = 66000 lb
Using a mix of 44,700 lb AHSS
&21,300 lb LCAK
Resulting Cb Chemistry = 0.0022%
