FAQ
The value of scrap metal is dynamic and can fluctuate. It depends on several factors, including the quantity, type, and quality of the material. Maxilead Metals can provide you with precise valuations based on these factors, ensuring you get the most accurate market value for your scrap metal.
Distinguishing between different metals can be achieved by classifying them as ferrous or non-ferrous. This categorisation can often be determined by using a simple magnet test; if a metal is magnetic, it falls into the ferrous category. If it’s not magnetic, it is considered non-ferrous.
However, the identification process can also involve considering the metal’s colour, weight, rusting characteristics, previous use, and other physical attributes. If you encounter difficulties in identifying a specific metal, professional testing may be necessary.
