Typical material
Plate, structural steel, heavy pipe, cut steel and prepared thick ferrous pieces.
Left over or unqualified steel plate from production lines by torch cutting process. These scraps are available in grey or black color. It must not be coated with oil, rusted or painted.
Thickness = 5 mm. or more
Steel plates, angle bar, channel steel, I-beam, H-beam, U-shape steel
HMS and heavy mixed steel are valued differently from light sheet scrap because thickness, density and preparation work affect melting and transport.
Plate, structural steel, heavy pipe, cut steel and prepared thick ferrous pieces.
Thickness, heavy/light ratio, galvanized or painted pieces, concrete, rubber, plastic and oversize items.
Send wide and close-up photos, approximate weight, largest piece size and loading location.
New HMS1 Plate is evaluated as heavier ferrous scrap. The team checks thickness, density, cutting requirements and whether lighter or coated material is mixed into the load.
They are used to discuss the mix of heavier prepared steel and lighter or secondary pieces, but real buying decisions still depend on photos, inspection, cleanliness and transport conditions.
Main factors are grade, thickness, oversize cutting, rust, coating, non-steel contamination, quantity, loading access and the ferrous scrap market on that day.
Keep concrete, rubber, plastic, wood and non-ferrous metals out of the pile. If large pieces need torch cutting, show them clearly in the photos.
