Yield<br />
Scrap Cost is the current nominal market value of scrap ($ per ton metallic charge) <strong>an</strong>d has been assumed to be $210/ton ([3]).<br />
YieldREF <strong>an</strong>d Yield are the average yield values for the reference <strong>an</strong>d the evalu<strong>at</strong>ion periods, respectively (in %). It is a measure of the<br />
amount of scrap saved by improving yield. Figure 14 is the plot of the average savings resulting from yield improvement. The savings<br />
in scrap for the evalu<strong>at</strong>ion period are $1.25 per ton inventory cast compared to J<strong>an</strong>-06.<br />
