FAQs

Ferrous metals contain iron in their composition. The term 'ferrous' comes from the Latin word 'ferrum', meaning iron. On the periodic table of elements, iron's atomic symbol is Fe. These metals are typically magnetic due to their iron content.

We accept several grades of ferrous metals, which we process using highly efficient equipment and ship to global markets offering the best prices. The most common ferrous metals we handle include: 1HMS, cast iron, light iron (tin), plate and structural, stainless steel, and turnings and borings.

Non-ferrous metals are those that do not contain iron. These metals are generally non-magnetic and have good resistance to corrosion, setting them apart from their ferrous counterparts.

Our facility accepts a wide range of non-ferrous metals, which we ship directly to various consumers worldwide on a daily basis. The non-ferrous metals we commonly process include: aluminum, brass, copper, lead, nickel, specialty alloys, titanium, and zinc.
