Stainless steel scrap is high in value, but the following must be noted:

- Sorting: 304, 316L, 2205, etc. should be stored separately; mixing will lead to off-spec composition. - Contamination: Mixed storage with carbon steel, copper, or aluminum will introduce impurities. - Radioactivity testing: Imported scrap must meet regulatory requirements. - Recycled material ratio: The electric furnace short-process route can use a high proportion of scrap steel, but residual elements (Cu, Sn, Pb) must be controlled.

For buyers: Pay attention to suppliers' raw material sources and composition stability, and increase spot checks when necessary.
