Alloyed Steel Scrap

Alloyed steel scrap consists of recycled steel that contains added elements such as chromium, nickel, or molybdenum to enhance its properties. It is primarily sourced from the automotive, construction, and heavy machinery sectors.

For buyers, Metalshub’s Procurement Solution allows steel mills, foundries, and other scrap buyers to digitalise their procurement process in order to increase sourcing efficiency, ensure compliant buying, and take data-driven decisions. For sellers, Metalshub’s Sales Solution allows recyclers, traders, and other sellers to digitalise their sales process, manage inventory, and optimise their sales book.

Alloyed steel scrap is collected from industries such as automotive, construction, and heavy machinery. The scrap is sorted, cleaned, and melted down in electric arc furnaces to be reprocessed into new steel products. CrNiMo tool steel scrap, HSS scrap, and other alloyed varieties are separated based on their alloy content and recycled for use in new steel production.

Alloyed steel scrap is predominantly used in the steel industry (~85%) for creating new steel products with enhanced properties. It is also utilised in foundries (~10%) for producing high-quality castings. Specific sub-categories, like CrMoV tool steel scrap and CrNiMo tool steel scrap, are used in industries that require high hardness, toughness and resistance to wear, making it a favoured choice across industries like automotive, aerospace and manufacturing.
