About Stainless Steel Melting Scrap
Stainless steel scrap is an actively traded ferrous category, with material value driven by the chromium, nickel, and molybdenum content of the alloys. The grades break naturally into two large families — the chromium-only 400 series, and the chromium-nickel 300 series, with 304 and 316 being the most common variants — and a number of more specialised alloys.
The trade moves through specialist yards equipped with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysers, which read the elemental composition of incoming material on the spot. This identification is important because the value of stainless scrap depends heavily on its nickel content, and the price difference between grades is meaningful.
