4 Common Types of Scrap Steel That Can Be Recycled Easily

Steel is one of the most recycled metals. It has corrosion-resistant properties and can be recycled over and over without losing its properties. Various types of steel are used in the manufacturing of heavy equipment, kitchen appliances and many more. We have compiled a list of common steel types that can be recycled easily.

  1. 4 Common Types of Scrap Steel That Can Be Recycled Easily

  2. Steel consists of iron and carbon, and it has a low carbon content that contains about 1% chromium. The best part about steel is it has corrosion resistance properties. The presence of chromium in the steel allows the formation of the corrosion-resistant, adherent, and invisible layer of chromium oxide on the steel surface.  There are so many benefits of steel; it is corrosion resistant and easy to fabricate, and lots more. Do you know? Steel is the most recyclable material on the planet. If you have steel scrap in your backyard and want to get rid of it but don't have time to drop it at the scrapyard, you must contact LH Metal, scrap metal collectors in Singapore.

  3. Check out the following points, and you will get to know about the common steel types that can be recycled easily.  Some Common Types of Scrap Steel That Can Be Recycled Easily Carbon Steel Before proceeding further, there are three types of carbon steel: low, medium, and high carbon. Carbon steel is an alloy of iron-carbon, containing up to 2.1 wt.% carbon. Lower carbon steel is a commonly used form of carbon steel, and it contains .30 percent of carbon. It is also more pliable and easy to shape. Medium carbon steel has .60 percent carbon, and this is the reason it is much stronger than lower carbon steel. High carbon is the metal used for making tools and to prepare construction-related products.  Carbon steel, widely used to prepare a wide range of applications from auto parts to structural beams to flat sheets and other construction materials.

  4. Alloy Steel  Alloy steel comprises carbon, iron, nickel, and copper. This category contains alloy elements like manganese, chromium, silicon, nickel, and molybdenum.  Some distinct properties like strength, hardenability, and corrosion resistance are a must in mechanical work for pipelines, auto parts, power generators, and transformers. Alloy steel is used to make mechanical parts where strength and durability are required. 

  5. Stainless Steel  You might have heard of stainless steel used in your kitchen appliances. These are reflective and resistant to corrosion, and can withstand high temperatures.  The best part is, stainless steel has low carbon, and it also contains 10.5 percent chromium that prevents corrosion as well as nickel or molybdenum. Stainless steel is extremely versatile and 100 percent recyclable that makes an ideal to use in a wide range of applications. Manufacturing companies use stainless steel in the production of medical equipment, transportation, and lots more.

  6. Tool Steel  Tool Steel is formed by tungsten, molybdenum, chromium, and vanadium that makes it very ideal for crafting tools. It also contains a unique strength, hardness, and resistance to abrasion and deformation. These are also known to hold a sharp edge even in extreme temperatures. Tool Steel is also known for being able to hold a sharp edge even in extreme temperatures, and it also makes it an ideal material for cutting, extruding, and molding other metals.  If you want to sell your scrap metal, then you can contact LH Metal. Here, you will get the best services and amazing customer services.
