Why Should You Sell Your Stainless Steel Scrap to Urban Copper Recycling?

What Kinds of Stainless Steel Do We Buy?
There are many different grades of stainless steel, and the value of each one depends on what it’s made of. The good news is? We take almost all of them.
Grade | Common Uses | Key Features |
304 Stainless Steel | Kitchen sinks, countertops, handrails | 18% chromium, 8% nickel; non-magnetic. |
316 Stainless Steel | Marine hardware, chemical/medical equipment | Contains molybdenum; highly rust-resistant. |
430 Stainless Steel | Dishwasher linings, car trim, appliances | Ferritic and magnetic; lower nickel content. |
304 Stainless Steel
This is the grade that is used the most around the world. You can find it in kitchen sinks, countertops, food prep tools, handrails, and building materials. The shine and resistance to rust that grade 304 has come from the fact that it has about 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It’s also one of the grades we buy that costs more.
Stainless Steel Grade 316
316 stainless steel, which is often called “marine grade,” has molybdenum in addition to chromium and nickel. This makes it even less likely to rust, especially in saltwater. Marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, pharmaceutical machinery, and outdoor coastal installations are all common sources. Grade 316 usually costs more.
Stainless Steel Grade 430
A ferritic stainless steel with less nickel in it. It is magnetic, which 304 and 316 are not, and it is often used in dishwasher linings, car trim, and some kitchen appliances. We still pay competitive prices for 430, even though it’s not as valuable as the austenitic grades.
