Heavy Melting Steel
Is old steel delivered with dimensions of no more than 1.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 metres? Then this material is called HMS (Heavy Melting Steel). We distinguish between:
HMS I/II: melting steel that meets the description of scrap I/II (light iron).
HMS I: heavier melting steel (> 6 mm) that meets the description of scrap I.
- Names: HMS I/II, HMS I
- Thickness: > 6 mm (HMS I) and 3 – 6 mm (HMS I/II)
- Galvanised parts: permitted
- Mechanical parts: permitted
- Length: max. 1.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 metres
We also buy and supply scrap 3B steel in short form. The common name for this is 3B or E3.
