About Stainless Steel

Let’s Learn About Stainless Steel Scrap

Whether you have material from a residential job or a larger-scale construction remodel, scrap steel prices fluctuate regularly. Scrap steel prices vary based on the economy, so check with your local scrap yard for current Stainless Steel Scrap Prices. It’s best to call ahead to find out the market rate for each type of steel. Scrap Steel includes 300 series stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, 316 stainless steel, and 400 stainless steel.

How Do You Know You Have Stainless?

An easy way to see if you have stainless steel is to do a magnet test. If the magnet does not stick and you have a shiny silver color, it is probably stainless steel or aluminum. Aluminum will have a duller texture. Different types of steel have different pricing. To get paid the highest value, stainless steel must be analyzed and have no attachments. Contact one of our iScrap App partners today. See more Scrapping Videos here.

Different Types or Grades of Stainless Steel

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of types of stainless steel. Many new production stainless pieces will have the grade listed on the actual material, but many pieces do not. Guessing what type of stainless steel you have is not easy, but one surefire way to figure out what you have is by asking your local scrap yard if they can use an analyzer (if they have one) to tell you what type of material you have.
