Bronze and gunmetal scrap.

## What we accept

Bronze and gunmetal scrap. Material is weighed and graded on arrival at our yard in Mina Abdallah.

## Kept apart from brass

Bronze and gunmetal are separate grades from brass and are loaded on their own. A mixed non-ferrous load is graded on its lowest constituent.

## Where it comes from

Bearings, bushes, valves, pump bodies and marine fittings, from plant maintenance and mechanical strip out.

## Bronze and gunmetal differ

Bronze runs high in tin. Gunmetal carries tin, zinc and lead together. Bearings, bushes, valves and propellers are the usual forms, and they are graded on what the alloy is rather than on what the part was.

## Bearing shells and inserts

Steel backed bearing shells carry only a thin bronze lining and are not paid as solid bronze. Steel shafts, pins and inserts come out before weighing.

## From the yard to the port

Five stages, handled by us, in the order they happen.

### 01 Grading and preparation

Material is sorted and graded, then cut, sheared or baled to the size the buyer specifies.

### 02 Weighing

Every load is weighed and a weight ticket is issued against it, recording gross, tare and net.

### 03 Inspection

A lot may be inspected at the yard by arrangement. Photographs and weights of a specific lot are provided on request.

### 04 Container loading

Sorted material is loaded to container at the yard, grade by grade rather than mixed.

### 05 Documentation and shipment

Paperwork is handled from the yard through to the port, and the shipment leaves through Shuaiba or Shuwaikh.
