abstract = {Decarbonizing the steel industry relies on a transition
from carbon-intensive blast furnacetechnology to scrap-based
secondary steelmaking using electric arc furnaces.
Thistransition introduces tramp elements and leads to their
gradual accumulation, which cansignificantly influence the
functional properties of chemically sensitive steel grades.
Inthis study, the combined impact of several tramp element
contents on the phase transformations,microstructure and
mechanical properties of a 0.3 $wt.\%$ C low-alloyed steel
wasinvestigated. To achieve this, a reference alloy was
produced using the conventional blastfurnace production
route. It was then compared with two trial alloys, which
containedintentionally elevated levels of tramp elements and
were produced through an experimentalmelting route designed
to simulate scrap-based electric arc furnace production.The
experimental characterization included light optical and
electron microscopy, electronback-scatter diffraction, in
situ synchrotron high-energy X-ray diffraction coupled
withdilatometry, and Vickers hardness testing. The results
revealed the formation of displacivetransformation products
such as martensite and showed that austenite was retained in
thetramp element-enriched trial alloys. The combination of
solid solution strengthening andmartensitic transformation
led to a gradual increase in hardness. These findings
underscorethe critical role of tramp elements in determining
the microstructural and mechanicalresponse of steels
produced from scrap-based feedstock.},
