METALS:
Iron (Fe)
Iron is a silvery-grey metal with high strength and magnetic properties, which makes it easier to separate from other metals. The most important alloy of iron is steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), which is used in construction, mechanical engineering, tool manufacturing, pipelines, and structural applications.
Stainless steel / Inox
Stainless steel, or inox, is an alloy of iron with chromium and often nickel, known for its corrosion resistance and durability.It is widely used in the food and medical industries, construction, and households.
NON-FERROUS METALS:
Copper (Cu)
Copper is a reddish-brown metal with very high electrical and thermal conductivity. In its pure form, it is soft and ductile, which makes it suitable for the production of wires and alloys. The most important copper alloys are brass and bronze.
Brass
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, recognizable by its golden-yellow color and ease of processing. It is commonly used in the production of fittings, musical instruments, and decorative items.
Lead (Pb)
Lead is a grey metal with high density and a low melting point. It is most commonly used in the production of batteries and for radiation shielding.
Aluminum (Al)
Aluminum is a silver-grey metal that is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to process. It is most commonly used in the production of means of transport, packaging, construction elements, and electronic components.
