Bryand beat me to it, the re smelting/recasting process undoes any heat related effects from its previous use.

Steel can be recycled indefinately. They found a good use for it.

Recycling steel is more economical as well, you don't need to reprocess the iron ore, coke and limestone.  It's merely resmelted and cast into shapes.

Virtually all of the steel could have been used in one form or another.
