Nevalis Minerals: Your Trusted Partner for High-Quality Steel Scrap

In today’s dynamic industrial landscape, the demand for sustainable and cost-effective raw materials is paramount. Steel scrap plays a critical role in meeting this demand, serving as a vital resource for steel production and contributing significantly to a circular economy. Nevalis Minerals Company stands as a leading supplier of premium steel scrap, offering a wide range of specifications, types, and sizes to meet the diverse needs of our global clientele. This document outlines our comprehensive steel scrap offerings, highlighting our commitment to quality, reliability, and sustainable practices.

I. Understanding Steel Scrap Specifications: Ensuring Quality and Performance

Steel scrap, derived from discarded steel products and manufacturing byproducts, is not a homogenous material. Its value and suitability for specific applications depend heavily on its composition, cleanliness, and size. Understanding the various specifications is crucial for both buyers and suppliers. Here’s a breakdown of key factors:

• Chemical Composition: The presence and percentage of elements like carbon, manganese, chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and sulfur significantly impact the properties of the steel produced from the scrap. Specific industry standards, such as those defined by the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI), categorize scrap based on these compositions.
• Cleanliness: The presence of contaminants like rust, dirt, oil, non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, lead), and other foreign materials can negatively affect the melting process and the quality of the resulting steel. High-quality steel scrap is meticulously processed to minimize these contaminants.
• Density: Density refers to the mass per unit volume of the scrap. Higher density scrap is generally preferred as it allows for more efficient charging of furnaces, reducing energy consumption and melting time.
• Size and Form: The size and form of the scrap (e.g., sheared pieces, shredded material, bundled scrap) are crucial for efficient handling, transportation, and charging into furnaces. Different steelmaking processes require specific size ranges.

II. A Comprehensive Range of Steel Scrap Types Offered by Nevalis Minerals

Nevalis Minerals offers a diverse portfolio of steel scrap, carefully categorized to meet the specific requirements of various steelmaking processes and applications. Our commitment to quality assurance ensures that each type meets stringent industry standards and customer expectations.

• Heavy Melting Steel (HMS) 1 & 2: HMS is one of the most widely traded types of steel scrap.
  • HMS 1: Typically consisting of clean, heavy-gauge steel with a minimum thickness of 6mm. It is free from rust, paint, and non-ferrous metals. Common sources include structural steel, plates, and forgings.
  • HMS 2: Similar to HMS 1 but may include thinner gauge material and allow for some degree of rust. It’s generally more economical than HMS 1.
• Shredded Steel Scrap: Produced by shredding end-of-life vehicles, appliances, and other steel products. It offers a relatively consistent size and is easily handled and charged into furnaces.
• Busheling: Consists of clean steel scrap generated during manufacturing processes, such as stamping and cutting. It is typically free from contaminants and offers excellent quality.
• Turnings: Scrap generated from machining operations. It can be borings, filings, or chips. Turnings require specialized processing to remove oil and other contaminants before being used in steelmaking.
• Plate and Structural Steel (P&S): Consists of large pieces of steel plate and structural shapes. This type of scrap is often generated from demolition projects and offers high density and cleanliness.
• Rebar Scrap: Consists of reinforcing steel bars used in concrete structures. It is typically collected from construction sites and demolition projects.
• Stainless Steel Scrap: A valuable and highly sought-after scrap due to its high alloy content (chromium, nickel, molybdenum). It is classified based on its grade (e.g., 304, 316) and is used to produce new stainless steel products.

III. Tailoring Steel Scrap Sizes to Optimize Your Production Process

Nevalis Minerals understands that the size of steel scrap is a critical factor in optimizing steelmaking processes. We offer a range of sizes to meet the specific requirements of your furnaces and handling equipment.

• Sheared Scrap: Cut to specific lengths using hydraulic shears. Common sizes range from 1 to 5 feet.
• Shredded Scrap: Typically ranges in size from small chips to pieces several inches in diameter.
• Bundled Scrap: Compressed and strapped into bundles for easier handling and transportation. Bundle sizes can be customized to meet specific requirements.
• Loose Scrap: Supplied in bulk without any specific size restrictions.

We work closely with our clients to understand their specific size requirements and provide customized solutions to ensure efficient material handling and optimal furnace performance.
