Ferrous Products
Ferrous Products
Scrap metal is classified as either ferrous or non-ferrous scrap.
Ferrous metals include steel (Heavy melting steel), cast iron, or any alloys of iron with other metals (such as stainless steel).
Ferrous metals are favored for their tensile strength and durability, so are often utilized in housing construction, large-scale piping, and industrial containers.
Our business focuses on Ferrous Products like HMS (Heavy Melting Steel) and Cast Iron. Generally, Ferrous metals are less costly than non-ferrous metals, ferrous metals are used because of desirable shapes such as plates, beams, columns, channels; Ferrous metals may also include scrap machinery or implements or certain metal stampings weight, low conductivity (e.g. Copper), non-magnetic property or resistance to corrosion (e.g.
Zinc).
Some useful properties of Ferrous Metals
● Resistance to Rust & Corrosion
● Ferrous Metals have magnetic properties
● Ferrous Metals are heavier than their non-ferrous counterparts.
Why recycle Ferrous Products?
Recycling Ferrous Metals has many financial and environmental benefits. It diverts them from landfills, reduces the need to extract and manufacture raw materials, and contributes to significant savings in greenhouse gas emissions. Recycling steel, for example, uses 75% less energy than making steel from raw materials. Recycled Iron has many uses, ranging from large-scale construction to small-scale manufacturing. Thanks to efficient recycling practices, nearly 40% of the steel produced worldwide is made from recycled scrap metals.
Recycled iron and other ferrous metals are used in the construction of both buildings and roadways, as well as in the production of automobiles, aircraft, and appliances. Many household products also contain recycled ferrous metals, such as office supplies, food containers, cans, and hardware.
