Stainless steels
Offcuts, pieces and swarf are separated according to grade and the information available.
FULL METALSSTAINLESS STEEL AND ALLOYS
Stainless steel and alloy recycling.
Composition is essential for stainless steels and special alloys: materials that look alike may require different recovery routes.

Composition comes before the trade name.
Offcuts, pieces, swarf and components made from stainless steel or alloys may belong to different grades. Missing markings, mixed materials and contamination make visual identification alone less reliable. Origin, separation and, where appropriate, instrumental verification are needed to build homogeneous batches.
Full Metals handles stainless steels, alloy steels and materials such as nickel and titanium alloys after verifying their actual characteristics. XRF analysis supports elemental identification and helps direct each fraction to the most appropriate specialist channel.
Nickel alloys
Superalloys and high-alloy residues require identification and dedicated outlets.
Titanium and special metals
Selected fractions are assessed for composition, condition and possible contamination.

MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION
Instrumental checks support reliable separation.
XRF elemental analysis can help distinguish grades that are difficult to identify visually. Results are considered together with origin, markings, form and the material's condition.
- Stainless and alloy-steel offcuts
- Swarf and machining residues
- Nickel alloys and superalloys
- Titanium and selected special metals

SEPARATE FLOWS
Prevent mixing before it happens.
Separating grades at the production point protects batch homogeneity. Clearly identified containers reduce accidental mixing with ferrous scrap or incompatible alloys.
After collection, the material is inspected and prepared for specialist steelworks, foundries or operators according to its actual composition.
HOW WE WORK
A clear process, from the initial assessment to the final destination.
Traceability
We collect information on origin and declared grade.
Analysis
We verify the material using suitable checks.
Separation
We keep incompatible alloys apart.
Batching
We consolidate homogeneous fractions for their destination.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Useful information before you contact us.
Does XRF analysis always identify the alloy?
XRF provides an elemental reading that supports classification. It is assessed together with origin, form, markings and the material's condition.
Do you assess nickel and titanium alloys?
Yes. Full Metals assesses superalloys, nickel alloys, titanium and other selected materials after checking composition, quantity and condition.
How should swarf from different grades be managed?
Use separate, identified containers within the production department, avoid mixing with other metals and check for residual fluids.
