Recycling of waste, both ferrous and non-ferrous metals is a useful process for the economy of any country. In this paper, a new technology for recycling bar scrap of ferrous metals by rolling on radial-shear rolling mills was proposed to obtain a marketable product in the form of bars with an ultrafine-grained gradient structure. Studies have shown that the deformation of the rod of scrap pieces of rebar from steel 18G2S mill of radial-shear rolling can significantly dispersed structure with obtaining the gradient ultrafine-grained structure, and this in turn leads to an increase of the mechanical characteristics of this steel grade. Thus, the tensile strength of steel grade 18G2S deformed at the radial-shear rolling mill was 620 MPa (at the initial value of 365 MPa).
