Residuals

The impurities in steel that can lead to it being too hard and/or brittle to meet the customer’s requirements. Residuals, also known as tramp elements, are especially problematic for soft materials where low hardness and high formability are required to form complex parts. Residuals are more prevalent in minimill material because they melt scrap that contains residuals to produce their steel.
