Frequently Asked Questions

How do you guarantee 304 and 316 stay separated?

Every lot is tested with handheld XRF analyzers at intake and again before loading. Molybdenum content instantly distinguishes 316 from 304, and magnetic sorting rejects any 400-series material. A PMI summary accompanies each shipment.

What is the difference between 304 and 316 for my melt?

316 carries 2–3% molybdenum for superior corrosion resistance and commands a premium. 304 is the workhorse austenitic grade. Buying them pre-separated lets you charge exact chemistries without dilution or re-sorting costs.

Do you supply turnings or only solids?

Both. Solids and cuttings for standard charging; turnings are supplied centrifuged with free oil capped at 3%, drummed or briquetted on request for safe container transport.
