Aluminium scrap
Discuss aluminium scrap requirements for smelters, remelters and traders. Specify the grade designation, material description, packing, inspection requirements and destination, so that quality and compliance terms are clear from the outset.
- Grade named by designation, such as an ISRI/ReMA grade.
- Contamination and recovery terms agreed per contract.
- Inspection, radiation screening and import compliance confirmed.
Information required for a scrap enquiry
Aluminium scrap is traded by grade designation and contractual description. Quality terms are agreed for each contract rather than taken from a single reference table.
| Parameter | Information required |
|---|---|
| Grade designation | Specification name, such as an ISRI/ReMA grade, or a contractual description |
| Material description | Form, alloy family and source of the material |
| Contamination limits | Contractual limits for moisture, oil, attachments and non-metallics |
| Packing | Bales, briquettes, loose or as agreed |
| Inspection | Pre-shipment or third-party inspection, as agreed |
| Radiation screening | Screening or certificate, as agreed |
| Origin and export documentation | Documented for the proposed offer |
| Destination import requirements | Import rules of the destination country confirmed before contract |
Scrap quality varies by grade and lot. Composition, contamination and recovery terms are agreed contractually and confirmed by inspection.
International scrap shipments are subject to the export and import regulations of the origin and destination countries. These are confirmed for each transaction.
Specifications shown are selected reference parameters for initial enquiries. Product availability, the complete agreed specification, origin, quantity, delivery terms, and applicable quality documentation are confirmed for each transaction. This information is not a Certificate of Analysis or confirmation of available stock.
