This scrap – Medium to Heavy unprocessed steel, put through a slab and shear machine whereby the scrap is first slabbed by a wrapping up process and then sheared at desired lengths to increase density. This category eliminates presence of Cast Iron and also reduces the need for the consumer to further process the scrap prior to melting it. However, care should be taken that such scrap is free of impurities during the processing as well as during loading.
This scrap generally consists of engine blocks, generator casings, wheel drums, old machinery and parts, wheel brakes, manhole covers, CI pipes, ductile iron pipes, etc.
Manufacturing alloy steel is obviously a tough task as this calls for putting a right mix of different metals to achieve the desired alloy. Grinding media balls used in cement industries are made of alloy steel. D.D. International Global trades in this scrap metal to supply to alloy steel units. However, the supply is limited, hence, this is not a regular item.
This scrap is higher in Chrome content but less in Nickel content when compared with stainless steel scrap. This grade conforms to SS400 series of stainless steel manufacturing. This is mostly used in alloy steel manufacturing.
Arising from mining activity, this grade of steel scrap has Manganese content of atleast 12%. Visibly, the scrap is of a different look altogether when compared with normal ferrous scrap metal. Again, this is used by alloy steel manufacturing units, who need to input Ferro-manganese as a manufacturing process to make alloy steel.
