Stainless steel, also known as inox, is an alloy made of metals such as iron, nickel, and chromium, containing at least 10.5% chromium. This chromium component prevents rusting and corrosion by forming a protective layer against oxidation. The durability of stainless steel depends on the proportion of metals used, which creates various types of stainless steel suitable for different applications.

 

Stainless steel is widely used in both everyday life and industrial production due to its advantages, including shine, durability, lightweight, and resistance to rust. Common applications include kitchen items, medical equipment, industrial machinery, and transportation components.

 

 

 

Due to its excellent properties and widespread use, recycling and reusing stainless steel is essential to avoid waste. The quality and price of scrap stainless steel depend on its composition and usage. It is generally categorized into three main types based on quality and components:

 

- 304 Stainless Steel Scrap (Type 1): This type contains high amounts of chromium and nickel, offering excellent corrosion resistance, flexibility, and durability. It is relatively soft and easy to recycle and process into smaller, complex components, making it highly valuable. It is commonly used in medical applications.

 

- 201 Stainless Steel Scrap (Type 2): This type uses manganese to replace some of the nickel. It is more affordable than 304 stainless steel and is commonly used for household products like kitchenware. It is known for its good wear resistance, light weight, and safe usage for health.

 

- 403 Stainless Steel Scrap (Type 3): This type primarily contains chromium and virtually no nickel. It is the least valuable and is used to make cheaper products that are easier to recycle.
