Did some work with Alta Steel few years back. When they melt down car bodies and form steel billets found most of other metals migrated to core like center of log. Any high stress applications like truck springs the poor quality steel will usually fail. It was okay for rebar.
Suspect some poor quality steel coming from Asian trading partners on traps that are failing.
