Abstract
This article reports on the steel-scrap balance in Russia and analyzes the demand for this resource from the steelmaking industry, as well as the potential sources of steel scrap. It is shown that the continuing growth of electric steelmaking in Russia will soon be challenged by shortages of steel scrap in the market and the need to more thoroughly process the scrap that will be available. Calculations show that when it is necessary to charge additional steel scrap into an arc furnace twice after the cold charge, the unit consumption of electric power is increased by 8.7 kWh/ton cast semifinished product and the heat is lengthened by 3 min.
