ABSTRACT
The variety of types of new scrap and the variety of ways in which it is collected and distributed make it impossible to generalize about how it is processed. However, compared with old scrap, new scrap has several advantages that make it easier to upgrade:
• New scrap is a known: The purchaser of new scrap knows how much material is being purchased and which alloys it consists of. The impurities in the scrap-iron, plastic, other metals-are also known. This makes it easier to design processing schemes.
