For example, the iron door of the parking lot entrance, old rebars used in houses, metal scraps during turning, etc. will all be placed in the scrap iron category. Some people think that scrap iron is waste from steel mills, when steel mills themselves need scrap iron to produce quality steel (stainless steel).
اThis product is so important that it is sold and priced in the commodity exchange. Scrap iron is an export product and directly affects the price of steel ingots. Because the use of super special scrap or grade 3 scrap has an effect on the final quality of steel and its properties. Of course, we talked about this in a special educational post called “What is the difference between iron and steel?” A very important point that sometimes people do not pay enough attention to is the amount and time of buying scrap iron. Usually, the pricing of scrap iron is not only based on quality, and the amount of a person’s purchase and even the way he settles affects the final price.

• Super special scrap iron
As much as your scrap iron has less waste and harmful substances, it will be of higher quality and naturally its price will be higher. Usually, the waste from construction iron beams that do not have rust will be included in this group. The price of this scrap iron model is close to the price of ordinary iron and it should not have any impurities. Of course, its size and density are also important, which are reviewed on a high scale for buying and selling. Therefore, super special iron scraps are scraps that have a high economic value, such as beams, rebar parts, thick sheet corners, corners, studs and thick pipes under one meter.
• Special scrap iron
After the demolition of buildings that have been built for 10 years or more, usually a lot of iron waste is found. The lower the rust and impurity of this iron model, the more valuable it is. Belts and special tools are usually used in recycling centers for this type of iron to clean them. The types of belts and corners used in the building are also known as special and high-quality scrap iron. Provided that there is no decay or structural problems. Special scraps such as rust-free sheet, stud parts, rebar, thick sheets, concrete hub mold, car rim, refrigerator motor, iron beam head and thick black pipe are classified as special scrap iron.
• First grade scrap iron
This type of scrap iron is usually not pure and is combined with copper and nickel. First grade scrap iron is also extracted through motor industries and used cars. For example, equipment and items such as car chassis, heavy car differentials and axles, non-sedimented shofas, train rails, industrial pipes, rusty and unused profiles, old water heaters, light and heavy engine parts, and all kinds of gears. is in this category. Of course, it should not have rust and problems like this.
•Second grade scrap iron
As we get closer to the end of this category, the size of scrap iron will change and its purity will be less than before. Grade 2 scrap iron consists of all kinds of galvanized sheets and connections, doors and windows, paper bicycles and motorcycles, classic cars, galvanized load tubes, light load tubes, welding nets and wires, belts and coiled bars, etc. .. Is. Identifying and buying this type of scrap iron is difficult and requires the knowledge of experts. Because few steel companies buy this type of scrap iron and it is not possible to export it. Because its quality and purity is low.
• Grade 3 scrap iron
The lowest purity of iron is related to this section and if the waste combined with iron is more than 8%, it will be included in this category. The size and quality of this model of iron waste is different and a fixed format cannot be considered for it. The exhaust of old cars, types of galvanized sheets, high pressure hose, etc. are the materials that will be included in this category.
What are the uses of scrap iron?
Scrap iron is needed in various industries and is used according to its price and quality. In this section, we are going to have a brief look at the applications of scrap iron in various industries.

•Steel industries
The first and perhaps the biggest consumer of iron scrap is the steel industry. According to the type of furnace used by these industries, they need different types of scrap iron to make steel. The amount of scrap iron purchased by steel companies is very large and their consumption plays a key role in pricing. Steel industries use very fine scrap iron which is also produced in lathes, and for this purpose there are special centers to buy this type of scrap iron. Remember that there is a significant need for scrap metal to produce stainless steel.
• construction industry
اIf you remember in the previous sections, we mentioned super special scrap iron. This scrap iron model is not much different from new iron and can be used due to its health and high quality. Now, if the section is broken or bent, it is repaired and used by welding. Construction industries usually look for scrap iron in large scale and dimensions, and that is why its pricing has its own rule and basis. To buy scrap iron for construction, be sure to check their quality and lifespan.
• Making household appliances
One of the advantages of scrap iron is the ability to melt and make a new alloy. Currently, many items, from chairs and sofas to fences and building door frames, are made from alloy and scrap iron smelting. Due to the multiple melting steps and the addition of different materials, the final result is very attractive and practical.
• Making artistic sculptures
Scrap iron is used to make all kinds of statues and statues in large size. If you look at the parks and squares of your city, you will see several large-sized statues and statues, all of which are formed by casting and shaping the same scrap iron.
