Steel can be recycled almost indefinitely without losing its properties. Obsolete ferrous scrap is derived from steel-containing goods at the end of their useful lives (e.g.a drinks can, a 15-year-old car, a 50-year-old building). Revert scrap is steel waste produced and recycled within a steelworks. New production scrap is generated when steel is cut and formed during the manufacturing of finished products or components. The scrap is returned to steelworks and foundries. Ferrous scrap is mainly used in electric arc furnace steelmaking. About 500 million tonnes of scrap are melted each year.

Alloys of iron with a high proportion of added elements - such as silicon, nickel, chromium, molybdenum, vanadium and manganese - that are used to improve properties in the production of special steels. As part of the steel production process, ferro-alloys are added to the usual mix of raw materials to alter the chemistry as required for certain specific end uses. The added elements determine whether the steel will end up as paper clips, a car body, the undercarriage of a jumbo jet, or a beam in a high-rise building.

Hot rolled from steel billet, wire rod is delivered as coil, most commonly at 5.5mm dia, but in sizes up to 60mm dia. Close control of final cooling is a critical part of production. The most important characteristic for determining a rod's end use is its drawability; the extent to which the rod's diameter can be reduced during the drawing process.

Tinplate is cold reduced steel sheet coated with a thin layer of tin. Tin mill products are produced in a variety of types including electrolytic tinplate, electrolytic chromium coated steel and black plate, an uncoated product. It has good corrosion resistance and food compatibility although many products require a thin coating of lacquer to maximise the shelf life of the contents. Around 90% of tinplate is used in packaging, with food and drinks cans the biggest market, but it is also widely used for other consumer and general packaging, such as aerosols, paints and oils.

There are many jobs around the farm that often involve back breaking work and much effort-jobs like loading and unloading large drums of fuel, feed, seeds, fertilizer bags, building materials, machinery ad similar chores. The Jib Crane provides the answer to all these problems and they can all be handled with a minimum of effort from the seat of your tractor. Ruggedly constructed from tubular steel, the crane is capable of lifting a load upto 500 kg. The goose-neck design makes it particularly handy for loading and unloading trucks and trailers. Used almost daily on any farm. Simple - one minute attachment It is recommended that the stabiliser bar chain be used if transporting over rough ground. Height of lift adjustable.

• Size1.2 mm up to 16.0 mm

Hot rolled coil is rolled on a hot strip mill from slabs. It can be found on the market in coil or sheet form and is further processed into finished products by the manufacturer. Hot rolled coil is typically 2-25mm thick and up to 2, 250mm wide. Hot rolled coil is produced as a feedstock for cold rolled coil and coated coil, but also for direct use in a variety of industrial applications including steel tubes used in transport, construction, shipbuilding, gas containers, pressure vessels and energy pipelines. Hot rolled sheet with an anti-slip surface and a diamond or teardrop pattern is typically used for stairs, industrial floors and tailboards for goods vehicles.
