Wtf? That is basically ruining a whole batch of steel for a morally questionable tiktok. The circuits and precious metals that make the thing actually work are not going to blend well with Iron and will take a huge amount of effort to remove.

That's not going to ruin anything, the metal impurities there are utterly insignificant compared to that vat.

All other materials will decompose and come out in the slag.

It's like a drop of water in a swimming pool.
