Heavy melting scrap

Description : Heavy Melting Scrap (HMS) is a widely used ferrous scrap category that consists of recyclable steel and iron. It is typically sourced from industrial equipment, construction materials, and machinery that have reached the end of their lifecycle. HMS is classified into two main grades: HMS 1 (which contains no galvanized or blackened steel) and HMS 2 (which may include some galvanized or painted steel). Due to its high iron content, HMS is a valuable raw material for steel mills and foundries, helping in the production of new steel products through melting and refining processes. It supports sustainable recycling efforts in the global steel industry.
