Scrap Metals Guide and ISRI Scrap Specifications
RecyclingMonster's scrap metals guide provides different types of scrap metal specifications, images, recycling centres and prices at scrap yards.
6063 Extrusions
Aluminum 6063 grade is often referred to as architectural alloy. It is an extrusion alloy with relatively high tensile properties, weld ability and high corrosion resistance. It has excellent finishing characteristics. Incidentally, 6063 is the…
Alternator Scrap
Alternators are found in cars, trucks and other vehicles. It contains wound copper wire inside it.
Aluminum Litho Sheet Scrap
Aluminum Litho Sheet Scrap shall consist of new, clean lithograph sheets. It may consist of 1000 or 3000 series alloys, but must be free of paper, plastic, excessively inked sheets and any other contaminants.
Aluminum Nodules
Aluminum Nodules shall consist of clean aluminum, either chopped or shredded. It must contain 99.45% aluminum content and must be free of screening, hair-wire, iron, copper, insulation and other non-metallic items.
Aluminum Radiators
Radiators basically transfer heat from the coolant to the air. Radiators are usually made from aluminum and copper. The primary difference between copper and aluminum radiators is that aluminum radiators have wider tubes to carry…
Aluminum Transformers
Aluminum Transformers are basically aluminum wires around a steel core. It may also contain an outer case surrounding the aluminum wiring.
Aluminum Utensil Scrap
Aluminum Utensil Scrap consists of aluminum sheets and sheet utensils including cooking pots. They must be free of iron and foreign materials.
Beryllium Copper Scrap
Beryllium Copper Scrap consists of clean beryllium alloyed copper solids. It may also include punching, clipping, bar, pipe, tubing or elbows.
Brass Radiator Scrap
Brass Radiator Scrap consists of radiators used in automobiles and home heating systems. It should be free of steel and iron at the sides of the material. It must not contain any coolant inside. The…
Braziery Copper Scrap
Braziery Copper consists of copper that are already tinned, soldered, brazed or painted. It should be at least 95% copper and can contain even up to 5% brass.
Cast Iron Scrap
Cast Iron Scrap is an alloy of iron that contains high amounts of carbon. The carbon content makes it susceptible to corrosion. As a result, Cast Iron scrap is often rusted and worn. It is…
Cellular Phone Scrap
Cellular Phone Scrap consists of old cellular phones with or without batteries. The introduction of newer cell phone models and the inherent tendency of humans to embrace changing technology results in millions of cellular phones…
Copper / Aluminum Radiator Scrap
Copper/Aluminum Radiator Scrap consists of unalloyed copper tubing surrounded by aluminum cooling fins. They are generally derived from heat exchange radiators.
Copper / Aluminum Radiators/ Fe Scrap
Copper/Aluminum Radiators/ Fe Scrap shall consist of iron attached to the unit of copper fins in air conditioning units.
Copper / Large Electric Motor Scrap
Copper/Large Electric Motor Scrap consists of large electric motors that are more than 1 horsepower in size. It also includes copper coil windings from such motors.
Copper Transformer Scrap
Copper Transformer Scraps consists of copper windings surrounding a steel core. The copper windings may also be covered by an outer case.
