SS and Alloys

Zurik is a premium mixed non-ferrous metal concentrate produced through advanced mechanical and sensor-based sorting technologies. This material consists of a combination of valuable non-ferrous metals, including stainless steel, insulated copper wire, aluminium, copper, lead, magnesium, nickel, tin, and zinc, in either elemental or alloyed form.

Generated through sophisticated processing methods such as induction sensor sorting, X-ray sorting, and other automated separation techniques, Zurik is designed to maximize the recovery of non-ferrous metals from shredded scrap streams. The material is typically processed through one or more magnetic separation stages to remove free iron and large ferrous attachments, resulting in a cleaner and more valuable metal concentrate.

SS 316 is a premium-grade austenitic stainless steel renowned for its superior corrosion resistance, strength, and durability. The addition of molybdenum enhances its resistance to chlorides, chemicals, and harsh environmental conditions, making it an ideal choice for marine, chemical processing, pharmaceutical, food processing, and industrial applications.

Composed primarily of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum, SS 316 offers excellent weldability, formability, and long-term performance in demanding environments. Its exceptional resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion makes it particularly suitable for use in coastal and chemical exposure settings.

Inconel is a family of high-performance nickel-based superalloys engineered for exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance. These advanced alloys are widely used in aerospace, power generation, chemical processing, marine, oil and gas, and nuclear industries where materials must withstand extreme operating conditions.

Monel is a premium nickel-copper alloy renowned for its exceptional corrosion resistance, strength, and durability in harsh environments. Widely used in marine, chemical processing, aerospace, oil and gas, and industrial applications, Monel alloys perform exceptionally well in seawater, acidic conditions, and high-temperature environments.

Cupro Nickel is a high-performance copper-nickel alloy widely recognized for its excellent corrosion resistance, durability, and strength in marine and industrial environments. Due to its outstanding resistance to seawater corrosion and biofouling, Cupro Nickel is extensively used in shipbuilding, offshore structures, desalination plants, heat exchangers, condensers, and power generation facilities.

Stainless Steel (SS) is one of the most durable and sustainable materials available, renowned for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. Unlike many other materials, stainless steel retains its structural integrity and performance characteristics even after decades of use, making it highly suitable for repeated recycling and reuse.

SS Turnings consist of clean stainless steel machining chips, borings, and turnings generated during manufacturing, machining, and fabrication processes. These materials are an important source of recyclable stainless steel and are widely used in the production of new stainless steel products and alloys.

Regular Catalytic Shells, commonly known as SS 409 Shells, are stainless steel housings recovered from used catalytic converters. These shells are typically manufactured from Grade 409 stainless steel, a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant alloy commonly used in automotive exhaust systems.

Shredded Catalytic Shells, commonly known as Shredded 409 Shells, consist of processed and shredded stainless steel housings recovered from used catalytic converters. Manufactured primarily from Grade 409 stainless steel, these materials retain the same valuable properties as regular catalytic shells, including excellent heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and recyclability.

SS 430 is a ferritic stainless steel grade known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and cost-effective performance. Unlike austenitic stainless steels, SS 430 contains chromium as its primary alloying element and is generally non-hardenable through heat treatment.

This grade offers reliable resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and certain chemical environments, including exposure to nitric acid, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial, automotive, architectural, and household applications. SS 430 is commonly used in kitchen equipment, automotive trim, appliances, exhaust systems, decorative components, and industrial equipment.

SS 410 is a general-purpose martensitic stainless steel known for its combination of strength, hardness, wear resistance, and moderate corrosion resistance. Containing approximately 11.5% chromium, this grade is widely used in applications that require durability, heat resistance, and mechanical strength.

One of the key advantages of SS 410 is its ability to be hardened through heat treatment processes such as quenching and tempering. These treatments enhance the material’s hardness, strength, and wear resistance while maintaining good corrosion protection in mildly corrosive environments. Additional finishing processes, including polishing and tempering, can further improve its corrosion resistance and surface quality.

SS 446 is a high-chromium ferritic stainless steel specifically designed for applications requiring exceptional resistance to high-temperature oxidation and corrosion. As a non-heat-treatable stainless steel, it maintains excellent stability and durability when exposed to elevated temperatures and harsh operating environments.

2205 Stainless Steel is a duplex stainless steel grade renowned for its exceptional combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness. It is widely used as an alternative to conventional 300-series stainless steels in applications where chloride stress corrosion cracking is a concern.

The unique duplex microstructure of 2205, combined with its high chromium, molybdenum, and nitrogen content, provides outstanding resistance to chloride-induced pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. These properties make it particularly suitable for demanding environments where standard grades such as 316L and 317L may be vulnerable to corrosion.
