The HMS 1&2 Scrap are normally sold together in the ratio of 80:20 heavy and light which is the common demand of most of the vendors.
Features:

• HMS 1&2 available in (80:20)
• Steel scrap is free of alloys

»The residual alloying elements do not exceed the following percentages !

• Nickel .45%

Copper cathodes

Through our worldwide contacts with producers we can offer Copper Cathodes to our clients. For an exemplary offer, pls send us an LOI.
Specification of LME copper cathodes:

LME Grade A Copper Cathode BS EN 1978:1998 (Cu-CATH-1) Specification

Copper Cathodes are converted to:

• Wire Rod - Coiled rod about 1/2" in diameter is drawn down by wire mills to make pure copper wire of all gages.
• Billet - 30' logs, about 8" diameter, of pure copper are sawed into these shorter lengths which are extruded and then drawn as tube, rod and bar stock of many varied sizes and shapes. Rod stock may be used for forging.
• Cake - Slabs of pure copper, generally about 8" thick and up to 28' long, may be hot- and cold-rolled to produce plate, sheet, strip and foil.
• Ingot - Bricks of pure copper may be used by mills for alloying with other metals or used by foundries for casting.
