Scrap steel, originally refers to the steel plant production process can not become the corners of the product waste, later, people will scrap machinery and equipment, the steel materials in the components, get rid of the scrap iron, collectively known as scrap steel.
According to information provided by relevant departments, in 2019, the world will produce about 400 million tons of scrap steel, accounting for about 45~50% of the world's total steel production in that year, of which 85~90% scrap steel can continue to be used as raw materials for steelmaking, the rest of the scrap steel can be used for casting, ironmaking and recycled steel.
According to incomplete statistics, China can produce about 30 million tons of scrap steel every year, but because the demand for steel is also growing rapidly, therefore, China's annual demand for scrap steel is also growing rapidly. Only in 2020, China's demand for scrap steel has exceeded 35 million tons, and the demand gap for scrap steel has reached 5 million tons.
In the case of scrap steel demand greater than supply, the price of scrap steel is also rising, in early 2020, the average price of scrap steel is only 2100 yuan/ton, and in February this year, the price of scrap steel had soared to 3500 yuan/ton, although now scrap steel prices fell back, but the lowest price will not less than 3000 yuan/ton.
Scrap prices rise, in addition to scrap resources are limited, but also benefited from the rising price of rebar. As of March 30, 2021, the price of rebar has risen to 4,964 yuan/ton, an increase of more than 50% compared with the price of more than 3,300 yuan/ton in April 2020. Under the background of rising rebar price, each steel mill in order to compete for the limited scrap resources, will naturally raise the purchase price of scrap steel.
According to the domestic scrap steel division of a information platform of a director, said: according to the current steel demand for steel scrap, scrap steel prices may continue to rise in small increments, concrete can increase how much, must look at downstream product selling prices of steel, a ton of rebar smelting cost is about 1200 yuan - 1300 yuan, now mills using blast furnace steel-making profits around 700 yuan/ton; And the profit of electric furnace steelmaking is about 300--400 yuan/ton, all steel mills need to keep their profits, these costs and profits rarely change, and lead to changes in the price of scrap steel is the sales price of rebar. It is estimated that the purchase price of scrap steel can hardly be higher than 3,500 yuan per ton.

Galvanized corrugated steel sheet is made of galvanized steel. It is also known as corrugated GI sheet. It combines the strength of steel with the smooth surface of zinc coating. Due to its durability and beautiful appearance, it is widely used in many industry, especially roofing and wall panels. Compared to color coated steel sheet, GI corrugated steel sheet is more cost-effective. The available thickness is from 0.12 to 1.5 mm, and the width varies from 600 to 2,000 mm.

Galvalume Steel Coil is a kind of Alloy-Coated Steel Sheet widely used in building materials, household appliances,automobiles, environment, machinery, ships and many other fields. The surface coating of galvalume steel sheet is composed of 55% aluminium, 43.5% zinc and a small amount of other elements. 1. Heat reflectivity: Aluminum-coated galvanized steel sheet has a high thermal reflectivity, which is twice as high as galvanized steel sheet. It is often used as insulation material. 2. Heat resistance: Aluminum-zinc alloy steel sheet has good heat resistance and can withstand high temperatures of more than 300 degrees Celsius. 3. Corrosion resistance: The corrosion resistance of aluminized and galvanized steel coils is mainly due to the protective function of aluminium and aluminium. When zinc is abraded, aluminium forms a dense layer of alumina,which prevents further corrosion of corrosion-resistant substances. 4. Economy: Because the density of 55% Al-Zn is smaller than that of Zn, the area of galvanized steel sheet is more than 3% larger than that of galvanized steel sheet under the same weight and thickness of gold plating. 5. Easy to paint: Aluminum-coated galvanized sheet and paint have excellent adhesion and can be painted without pretreatment and weathering treatment. 6. Aluminum-galvanized steel sheet has a silver-white gorgeous surface.Read more
