What is the difference between stainless steel and aluminum?

Stainless steel and aluminum are almost indistinguishable... That is unless you know that some stainless steel sticks to a magnet.

Also, most stainless steel is non-magnetic, like aluminum. So how to tell the difference then?

The truth is the you can easily distinguish between stainless steel and aluminum by using the metal proporties. So for example if you have many cookware pots and need to know if they are aluminum or stainless, you could try a magnet. If they both are non magnetic, then try making one of them spark.

Recycling Metal

What is Metal Recycling?


Metal recycling is one of the most common way for a business to make money from its waste. The more waste a entity generates, the more opportunity it has to cut costs by recycling its scrap metal.

The deal with scrap metal is the more metal you use, the more waste metal you will have at the end of every month; Weither it is cuttings, solids, shavings, punches, or any other types of scraps.

The most common way to make make money with these scraps, is to sell them to Scrap metal buyers, or more specifically, scrap metal yards.

Scrap metal yards will buy any and all scrap metals. I have sold from everything gold bearing electronic scrap to actual gold jewelry to my scrap yard. If you have a trust worthy yard, they will usually give the best prices.

Scrap metal is one of the biggest exports in the United States, so it shouldn't surprise you that everybody wants a little piece of the pie. Heck, you are reading this because you have some interest for some reason.

Scrap metal recycling will prove to be one of the most important parts of your business once you realize the money you make!
