Aluminium

 

Aluminium

About 8% of the Earth’s crust is composed of aluminium, making it the most abundant metal on the planet. Aluminium’s lightweight property makes it very popular in construction, transportation and machinery.

Some of the specifications we work with:

  • Talon
    New pure aluminium and wire and cables.
  • Telic
    Mixed aluminium borings and turnings.
  • Tense
    Mixed aluminium castings.
  • Troma
    Aluminium auto or truck wheels.
  • Zorba
    Shredded non-ferrous metals, predominately aluminium.
  • Tablet
    Clean aluminium lithographic sheets.
  • Taint/Tabor
    Clean old alloyed sheets of two or more alloys. 
  • Taldack
    Densified aluminium used beverage can (UBC) scrap.
  • Talk
    Aluminium copper radiators. 
  • Tally
    All aluminium radiators from automobiles.
Copper

 

Copper

There are more than 400 copper alloys, each with its unique properties. Copper’s strength and conductivity make it useful in various building and electrical applications.

Some of the specifications we work with:

  • Honey
    Yellow brass scrap.
  • Lake 
    Brass small arms and rifle shells, clean fired. 
  • Night
    Yellow brass rod turnings.
  • Nomad
    Yellow brass turnings.
  • Ocean
    Mixed unsweated auto radiators.
  • Barley
    No.1 copper wire.
  • Birch
    No.2 copper wire.
  • Candy
    No.1 heavy copper.
  • Candy Cliff
    No.2  heavy copper.
  • Clove
    No.1 copper wire nodules.
  • Cocoa
    Copper wire nodules.
Nickel

 

Nickel

Most of the world’s supply of nickel is mined in the Sudbury region of Ontario, Canada. Nickel’s corrosion-resistant properties make it ideal for creating alloys such as stainless steel.

Some of the specifications we work with:

  • Sabot
    Stainless steel scrap. 
  • Ultra
    Stainless steel turnings.
  • Dandy
    New cupro nickel clips and solids.
  • Daunt
    Cupro nickel solids.
Zinc

 

Zinc

Approximately one-third of all metallic zinc produced today is used in galvanization, a process of coating iron and steel products against corrosion.

Some of the specifications we work with:

  • Saves
    Old zinc die-cast scrap. 
     
  • Scrabs
    New zinc die-cast scrap. 
     
  • Scope
    New zinc plated die-cast scrap.
Lead

 

Lead

Lead makes up only about 0.0013% of the earth’s crust but is not considered to be a rare element as it’s easily mined and refined. Lead is used in building construction, car batteries, ceramic and glass glazing.

Some of the specifications we work with:

  • Racks
    Scrap lead scrap.
     
  • Rails
    Lead battery plates.
     
  • Rains
    Drained lead batteries.
