Old steel scrap is a grade of ferrous metal waste which can fetch for a decent price at most UK scrap yards.
Depending on its properties, your old steel scrap will either be classed as no.1 or no.2 by a metal dealer.
No.1 old steel scrap is a medium carbon steel that is typically machinable, can be welded and has good strength and is a mold steel alternative. No.1 steel will usually be valued higher than no.2 old steel due to its heavier weight.
