Recycling Carbon Steels<\/h3>\n

Carbon steel makes up 90% of total steel production.\u00a0 There are three main categories of <\/span>carbon steels<\/span><\/a> including low, medium, and high carbon steel.\u00a0 The level of impurities, the amount of carbon, and the additional alloying elements determine the properties of each steel grade.\u00a0 Carbon steel <\/span>is widely used within the construction industry and can be found in anything from kitchen knives to buildings and bridges.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scrap Metal Alloy Steels<\/h3>\n

Known for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, alloy<\/a> steels can be found in pipelines, power generators, electric motors, and<\/span> auto parts.\u00a0 Alloy steel contains alloying elements (titanium, copper, manganese, silicon, nickel, chromium, and aluminum).<\/span><\/p>\n

Stainless Steel Scrap Metal<\/h3>\n

Stainless steel<\/a> is valued for high corrosion resistance and contains between 10-20% chromium as the main alloying element.\u00a0 Based on their crystalline structure, this type of steel can be categorized as the following: austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic.\u00a0 The largest portion of the stainless steel market comes from the non-magnetic a<\/span>ustenitic steels<\/span><\/a> which are found in restaurant equipment, kitchen utensils, and piping.\u00a0 The ferritic stainless steels are magnetic and cannot be hardened by <\/span>heat treatment<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 These can also be found in restaurant equipment, sinks, and autoparts.\u00a0 Martensitic steels are magnetic and heat-treatable.\u00a0 It can be found in knives, cutting tools, as well as medical equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tool Steel Metal Scrap<\/h3>\n

Tool steels provide <\/span>heat resistance and durability and are made up of molybdenum, <\/span>tungsten<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>cobalt<\/span><\/a> and vanadium. Tool steels can be found within drilling equipment, auto and shipbuilding parts, and piping materials.<\/span><\/p>\n
