Ferrous (iron-containing) material that generally is remelted and recast into new steel. Integrated steel mills use scrap for up to 25% of their basic oxygen furnace charge; 100% of the mini-mills' raw material for their electric furnaces generally is scrap. Home Scrap. Waste steel that is generated from within the steel mill, through edge trimming and rejects. It normally is sent directly back to the furnace. Prompt (Industrial) Scrap. Excess steel that is trimmed by the auto and appliance stampers and auctioned to scrap buyers as factory bundles. This is a high-quality scrap as the result of its low-residual content and consistent chemistry. Obsolete Scrap. Iron-bearing items such as old automobiles; household appliances; farm, office and industrial equipment; ships and railroad cars; buildings and bridges that have completed their useful life which can be recovered from the junkyard and remelted.
All non-product metal produced during the casting process.
Material designated as obsolete or out-of-specification that will be disposed of in its current state.
Pre-cast or cast-on piece of lead or lead alloy used to connect plates into groups and to connect groups to the post.
A class of jewelry-shop waste, cuttings of precious metals, large enough to sort for re-melting; differentiated from filings, sawdust and other small waste that has to be sweep-smelted and refined to recover it for use.
discarded industrial waste material that is often suitable for recycling..... return
Products that have completed their useful life, such as appliances, cars, construction materials, ships, and post-consumer steel cans; also includes new scrap materials that result as by-products when metals are processed and products are manufactured. Steel scrap is recycled in steel mills to make new steel products.
worthless material that is to be disposed of
dispose of (something useless or old); "trash these old chairs"; "junk an old car"; "scrap your old computer"
disposed of as useless; "waste paper"
material scrapped within a particular time period
Property that has no reasonable prospect of being sold except for the recovery value of its basic material content.
Discarded or rejected industrial waste material often suitable for recycling.
Metal that is leftover after cutting. Generally, this can be recycled.
Property that has no value except for its basic material content. [D03567] RMW
products that can be recycled
Discarded materials which can be economically recycled.
Leftover, unused material relegated to recycling.
Iron-containing stainless steel material that is normally remelted and recasted into new stainless steel. Home scrap is left over stainless steel generated from edge trimming and rejects within the mill. Also, industrial scrap that is trimmed by stampers and auctioned to buyers.
It forms the basic raw material for making steel by the electric arc process. Steel offers ecological advantages as it can be recycled enabling the discarded car of today to appear as part of a new model tomorrow. Scrap is sorted and graded before use and the necessary elements are added during the steel making process to achieve the desired specifications.
That portion of solid waste which can be economically recycled.
Any plastic material, which is not part of the product, that results from a molding procedure. This material is typically tip scrap and can be reused.
Discarded metallic material, arising from processing, from use or at the end of life. It is usually reclaimed by remelting and refining to produce new material. Steel is the most recycled material on earth.
Any scrap metal melted, usually with suitable additions, to produce castings.
used metal parts reclaimed for other uses.
Scrap is a term used to describe the waste metal. Old, unwanted metal such as parts of vehicles, building supplies, and surplus materials, are taken to a wrecking yard (known colloquially as scrapyards), where they are processed for later melting into new products.
