Brass Price & Brass Scrap Price Current

Brass price current: the state of today

A brass price is only valid for the day it is created – therefore the table is at the top of this page and not in the flow text: each grade with its current status and date. All grades show Metal prices, group Brass.

Why the brass price moves

Brass is a copper-zinc alloy, there is no stock exchange listing of its own. The reference market is the daily quotations for copper and zinc on the metal exchange, weighted by their share in the alloy. Because copper is more expensive and represents the greater proportion, brass essentially follows the copper market, with exchange rates and demand from foundries.

Why the purchase price is below the quotation

Pure metals in standardized form, non-used alloys are noted. In between are sorting, separation of foreign metals, weighing, transport and burn-off – zinc evaporates in part when melting, and this is included in the discount. The less processing is needed, the closer your proceeds are.

What distinguishes the brass price per grade

Two things decide: the copper content of the alloy and the pieceness. Brass cartridge cases from MS72 with about 72 percent copper on top. Brass 63 scrap – sheet metal, punching and thermoforming parts – are over Brass 58 scrap from the turning mill because MS58 contains five percentage points less copper. For Heavy brass scrap and Light brass scrap The alloy can be the same; here counts the wall thickness, because thin fittings have a lot of surface, so more adhesions and more burn-off. Brass turnings are below it because oil, emulsion and moisture weigh along and interfere with melting.

Selling brass: this is how it comes to us

What you can do for a good price

Out must be everything that is not brass: iron screws, steel spindles in fittings, plastic handles, seals, soldering residue. A magnet does half the work – chromed fittings look like steel and are often overlooked. We only take pods empty, dry and free of detonators. Drain chips, never with iron chips in the same container. And separate by grade: A mixed delivery is evaluated according to its weakest proportion. Larger quantities are also worthwhile because the scale of quantities is effective; the kilo limit per grade is the value of the delivery.
