All Types Metals Scraps
We buying different types of scrap metal, categorized into ferrous, non-ferrous, and specialty metals, along with some additional considerations like scrap recycling and processing.
Ferrous Metals (Contain Iron)
- Steel Scrap: Structural steel, sheet metal, old cars, appliances, and construction materials. It is often abundant and relatively cheaper compared to non-ferrous metals.
- Cast Iron: Used in engine blocks, pipes, and heavy machinery parts. Cast iron is valued for its durability.
- Wrought Iron: Used in gates, fences, railings, and decorative items. This can be easily melted down and reused.
- Stainless Steel: Usually found in kitchen appliances, surgical instruments, and construction equipment. It is corrosion-resistant and retains good value in scrap.
Non-Ferrous Metals (Do Not Contain Iron)
- Copper Scrap: Copper is one of the most valuable scrap metals and is found in plumbing pipes, electrical wires, and some machinery parts. Copper scrap can fetch a high price due to its conductivity and widespread industrial use.
- Aluminum Scrap: Often found in cans, foil, car parts, and old window frames. Aluminum is lightweight and non-corrosive, which makes it highly recyclable.
- Brass Scrap: Common in plumbing fixtures, electrical contacts, and musical instruments. Brass is a copper alloy, and its scrap is typically more expensive than steel.
- Bronze Scrap: An alloy of copper, typically containing tin, used in sculptures, bearings, and tools.
- Lead Scrap: Found in lead-acid batteries, lead pipes, and radiation shielding. It’s valuable but requires proper handling due to its toxicity.
- Nickel Scrap: A highly valuable metal used in stainless steel and various alloys. It’s commonly found in coins, batteries, and industrial equipment.
- Zinc Scrap: Used mainly for galvanizing steel, in batteries, and as part of alloys. Zinc is recycled often from old batteries or metal coatings.
- Titanium Scrap: Lightweight and strong, used in the aerospace and medical industries. Titanium scrap is in demand for its strength-to-weight ratio.
