Overview Specifications Price Calculator Logistics & Handling Compliance

Chemical Composition

Elemental breakdown by percentage weight.

Standard composition limits

Values represent maximum allowed percentage unless otherwise noted.

Physical Properties

Material form, density, and contamination specifications.

Clean, uncoated steel trim, slugs, and waste directly from automotive/appliance stamping presses; material flows directly from press to collection with zero weathering

Acceptable Inclusions

Light press cooling water residue <0.5%
Dust from metal stamping <0.2%
Minimal rust from press surface <0.1%

Prohibited Materials

Coatings: paint, oils, grease (any visible)
Stainless steel (any piece >0.02%)
Non-ferrous metals: copper, aluminum, brass, lead (any detectable)
Radioactive materials (any detectable)
PCB or electronic components
Asbestos materials
Mercury components
Mixed scrap from collection areas (busheling must be press-direct)

Quality Assurance

Testing protocols, sampling methods, and acceptance criteria.

Sampling Protocol

frequencyRandom selection from multiple bushels; confirms uniformity

maximumQuantity30 samples per truck load

minimumQuantity500kg or 10 samples

percentage3–5% of lot

sourceVerificationMaterial must be verifiable to specific stamping press/facility lot number

Acceptance Limits

all Criteria Must Passcriteria must simultaneously be met; single criterion failure triggers rejection

copper LimitCu <0.05%

iron ContentFe ≥95.0%

non Ferrous Total<1.0%

origin VerificationMaterial must be press-direct; lot tracking required

Required Test Methods

Visual Inspection

Method 1

Purpose

Detect ANY non-ferrous metal pieces, stainless steel, coatings, contamination

Acceptance Criteria

Pass: ZERO contamination visible
100% factory-clean appearance

Procedure

100% visual inspection of material samples
ZERO tolerance for contamination

XRF Spectrometry

Method 2

Purpose

Verify Fe ≥95%, Cu <0.05%, non-ferrous <1.0%

Acceptance Criteria

Pass: Fe ≥95%, Cu <0.05%, non-ferrous <1.0%, all trace elements within limits

Magnetic Test

Method 3

Purpose

Confirm ferrous material
detect any stainless or non-magnetic contamination

Acceptance Criteria

Pass: All samples respond strongly to magnet
NO dead zones

Procedure

Hand magnet test on representative samples

Surface Condition Assessment

Method 4

Purpose

Verify material is clean, uncoated, and factory-direct

Acceptance Criteria

Pass: Appearance confirms manufacturing origin (not weathered, not oxidized)

Procedure

Visual inspection for rust, oxidation, oil stains, paint, dirt

Material Origin Verification

Method 5

Purpose

Confirm material is busheling (press-direct), not mixed scrap

Acceptance Criteria

Pass: Documentation available
traceability to specific press/facility

Procedure

Review supplier documentation
verify lot tracking number
confirm single-source origin
