Special Purpose Steel Scrap

Maraging steel scrap are very unique with their position as a superior strength scrap metal and superior strength alloy scrap. The iron base in Maraging steel scrap along with amounts of aluminum, molybdenum, titanium and copper, as well as being essentially carbon free, deliver superior properties including:

• High tensile strength
• Excellent fatigue resistance and outstanding form ability
• High hardness value
• Excellent mechanical properties

Maraging steel scrap are used in a wide range of components and parts in many industries throughout the world today. Maraging scrap are recycled for use in:

• Electronics
• Aerospace
• Automotive
• Medical
• Motor production
• Defense
• Shipbuilding
• Watch industry

Other uses for recycled maraging steel scrap are in valves, pump shafts, heat exchangers, fasteners, valve seals, nuclear reactor components, and exhaust gas systems. Additional applications for maraging steel scrap include thermocouples, process vessels and piping, infrared radiant screens, hypodermic syringes, surgical components and jet-engine igniter.

One area that maraging steel scraps are being used more often is in the sporting industry. Recreational sporting industry uses for maraging scrap include bicycle frames and golf club heads.

Multi metal scrap are the combination of various metal scraps. These multi metal scraps are widely used in the production of:

• Multimet Bar
• Multimet Forged Ring
• Multimet Plate
• Multimet Ring
• Multimet Sheet

Kovar scrap are vital parts of the reusable metal industry. These scraps are typically composed of:

• 53 % iron
• 29 % nickel
• 17 % cobalt
• 0.3 % manganese
• and 0.2 % silicon

Kovar scrap is a registered trademark of Carpenter Technology Corporation. Kovar scrap is vacuum melted, low expansion, iron/nickel/cobalt alloy that has a chemical composition which is controlled within relatively narrow margins to insure uniform thermal expansion properties. Kovar scrap can be found in flat and solid mill shapes including kovar sheet, kovar rod, kovar round bar, kovar tube, kovar strip, and kovar wire.
