HMS1 & HMS2 Scrap Metal for Recycling

HMS1 and HMS2 Scrap Metal, also known as Heavy Melting Steel Scrap, is a recyclable ferrous material used by steel mills, foundries and metal recycling facilities. This scrap typically comes from discarded steel products, industrial equipment, structural steel and other heavy steel materials.

HMS (Heavy Melting Scrap) 1 & 2 is one of the most widely traded ferrous scrap materials in the global steel recycling industry. HMS is widely used as a raw material in steel production due to its strength, recyclability and suitability for remelting.

We supply HMS1 and HMS2 steel scrap for buyers involved in steel production and metal recovery. Available material, quantities, and loading arrangements depend on current stock and buyer requirements.

Heavy melting steel (HMS) is broken up into two major categories: HMS 1 and HMS 2, where HMS 1 does not contain galvanized and blackened steel, whereas HMS 2 does. HMS is typically traded as a blend of 1 and 2, either a premium blend (80/20) or lower grade mixes (70/30) and (60/40). For example, HMS 1 and 2 (80/20) should consist of HMS 1 and 2 in the ratio of 80% (HMS 1) and 20% (HMS 2).

What Is HMS1 Scrap?

HMS1 scrap generally consists of heavier, prepared wrought iron and steel scrap. It typically excludes galvanized and blackened steel and has fewer restrictions on certain material types than HMS2. Common examples may include heavy steel plates, structural steel sections, steel beams and cut steel components.

What Is HMS2 Scrap?

HMS2 scrap is another category of heavy melting steel scrap. Depending on the applicable specification, it may include a wider range of steel scrap such as certain thinner or galvanized pieces. The exact requirements can vary by trading standard and buyer.

Applications of HMS1 & HMS2 Scrap

Steel recycling facilities and mills use suitable HMS scrap for steel making and metal recovery.

Recycling steel scrap helps conserve existing metal resources and reduces the need to obtain all steel making inputs from newly extracted raw materials. Proper sorting and inspection also help buyers assess the suitability of each shipment.

Product Specifications and Supply

HMS1 and HMS2 scrap can vary according to grade, size, thickness, source, and preparation.
