Main grades of aluminium

Classification

The sector and the power line

The sector and the power line

The purest grade of aluminium – power cables and wires without insulation, a steel core or connectors. The material must be dry and free from grease. Steel-core cables (Al/Fe) and greasy cables are priced separately.

Aluminium profiles

Aluminium profiles

Window and door profiles made from 6060 and 6063 alloys – white, coloured or untreated, cut into lengths of up to 1 metre. The profiles must be free of seals, glazing, fittings and steel components. Isoprofile sections with a thermal break form a separate category.

Aluminium sheets

Aluminium sheets

A1 sheets, offset sheets and AlMg3 alloy sheets. Purity and thickness are key – post-production sheets without film fetch the highest price, whilst sheets with protective film or those thicker than 4 mm are valued lower.

Al/Cu coolers

Al/Cu coolers

Coolers with aluminium fins and copper tubes, e.g. from air-conditioning systems. We offer the highest prices for cleaned coolers, free from steel and plastic components. Coolers containing steel up to grade 10% form a separate category.

Weighing and payment

Once the raw material has been delivered, we weigh it and check it.

How can you recognise aluminium?

You can recognise it by its low weight (it is noticeably lighter than steel for the same volume) and the fact that it is not attracted to a magnet. It does not rust, but may develop a grey oxide coating. When struck, it produces a duller, muted sound compared to the resonant clang of steel.

We price different types of aluminium (profiles, sheets, castings) separately due to variations in purity.

Aluminium collection – types of scrap and prices

Aluminium is the type of scrap we purchase most frequently – in every grade (alloy) and every form. Pure aluminium is light but not particularly strong, which is why, in practice, alloys containing iron, copper, silicon, magnesium or manganese are used. These are divided into casting alloys and alloys for plastic working, and are used, amongst other things, in the aerospace, automotive, chemical and food industries, as well as in shipbuilding.

What other types of aluminium do we buy?

  • Aluminium casting – scrap from components produced in foundries, free from contamination by other metals.
  • Engine heads – carefully selected castings from car engines, which command a higher price than standard castings.
  • Alloy wheels – from car rims with the weights and steel sleeves removed.
  • AlMg (5xxx series) – alloys with a high magnesium content, most commonly in the form of sheets and thick plates used in industry and construction.
  • Aluminium radiators – mainly from car dismantling; what matters is the moisture content and contamination with steel, soil or plastic.
  • Art – a mix of series in the form of metal sheets, either painted or unpainted.
  • AFL cable and Al cable – high- and low-voltage power cables, with all clamps and steel components removed.
  • Aluminium shavings – from the remelting of aluminium in foundries, priced according to chemical composition and metal content.

Aluminium purchasing – price

The purchase price of aluminium depends on its chemical and physical purity, as well as its alloying elements – post-production aluminium with a homogeneous composition commands the highest price. The aluminium price quoted on the LME (London Metal Exchange) is the metal’s exchange price, not the scrap purchase price: the purchase rate is determined by the LME, the euro exchange rate, market conditions and demand, as well as the grade of the material supplied.
