What is Cast Aluminium?
Cast aluminium includes engine blocks, gearbox housings, pump bodies, and other items made by casting molten aluminium into moulds. Cast alloys contain silicon and other elements that reduce the scrap value compared to wrought aluminium.
Tips for best price
- Remove steel bolts and brackets. Irony aluminium is worth much less.
- Engine blocks should have oil drained and steel components removed.
- Cast items are heavy for their size. Worth the trip even in small quantities.
