Non-Ferrous Metals

Non-ferrous metals are not prone to rusting, making them ideal materials for roofing, pipework and electrical installations. Generally, non-ferrous metals are non-magnetic, malleable and much lighter, hence their widespread use in aviation and other applications. Some examples of the most common non-ferrous metals are copper (highly conductive & malleable), tin ( with low tensile strength), lead (heavy and soft), aluminum (very light and easily formed) and zinc (ideal for galvanizing other metals) among others. At RAM we recycle the following non-ferrous metals:

1. Copper & Red Metals: wires (BERRY), wire nodules (CLOVE), heavy copper (CANDY), insulated wires (DRUID), (CLIFF) and aluminum copper radiators (TALK).
2. Brass Metals: composition or red brass (EBONY), machinery or hard brass solids (ENGEL) and yellow brass scrap (HONEY).
3. Aluminum metals: clean lithographic sheets (TABLET), painted siding (TALE), insulated wire scrap (TWANG), mixed aluminum castings (TENSE), clean mixed old alloy sheet aluminum (TAINT / TABOR), automobile radiators (TALLY), new production aluminum extrusions (TATA), auto or truck wheels (TROMA), extrusions “10/10” (TOTO), mixed low copper aluminum clippings and solid (TABOO) and baled aluminum used beverage can (UBC) scrap (TALDEN).
4. Lead: mixed hard / soft scrap lead (RADIO), wheel weights (ROPES) and range lead.
5. Stainless Steel & Nickel: scrap (SABOT), turnings (ULTRA) and 316.
