How Much Do You Know About Recyclable Metals

As we all know, copper and aluminum are most recycled metals. In fact, the scrap metal recycling industry encompasses a wide range of metals. Besides copper and aluminum; iron and scrap steel, lead, zinc, and stainless steel are also the most commonly recycled metals.

Generally, scrap metals are divided into two basic categories: ferrous and nonferrous. Ferrous scrap refers to the metal that contains iron. Iron and steel containing iron can be recovered and remelted repeatedly to from new objects.

Herein nonferrous metal are copper, brass, aluminum, zinc, magnesium, tin, nickel, and lead. However, it also includes precious and exotic metal. Precious metals are metal with a high market value in any form, such as gold, silver, and platinum. Exotic metal contain rare elements such as cobalt and tungsten.

Some types of metals are radioactive. These may be “naturally-occurring” or may be formed as by-products of nuclear reactions. Therefore, we should adopt some necessary methods to protect ourselves against radioactive damage when operating these materials.

There are different ways to deal with different kinds of scrap metals. For the most common recycled metals, mechanical processing method is an easier and faster way compared with other way. Hence, if you want to join the industry, it is a good choice.
