Copper Tubing
Copper is a mineral that is found in the Earth’s crust. It is a ductile metal that has high thermal and electrical conduction properties. Pure copper is soft and malleable and a newly exposed surface has as somewhat pink or peachy color.Recycled copper is worth up to 90 percent of the cost of the original copper. It is also cheaper to recycle copper than it is to mine and extract new copper. Recycling helps keep the cost of copper products down.
Brass
Today almost 90% of all brass alloys are recycled. Because brass is not ferromagnetic, it can be separated from ferrous scrap by passing the scrap near a powerful magnet. Brass scrap is collected and transported to the foundry where it is melted and recast into billits. Billets are heated and extruded into the desired form and size.
