What is Irony Aluminium?
Irony aluminium is mixed aluminium scrap containing enough ferrous metal to prevent it being sold as clean cast, sheet, extrusion, or wheels. Common examples are engine and gearbox assemblies, window sections with steel reinforcement, aluminium frames with bolts, and machinery housings with shafts or bearings. The allowable iron content and the name used for this grade vary between yards.
Tips for best price
- Sweep a strong magnet across the item to find bolts, liners, shafts, and hidden reinforcement.
- Remove accessible iron attachments when the likely upgrade is worth the labour involved.
- Keep clean aluminium separate so one contaminated item does not lower the grade of the whole load.
- Drain engines, gearboxes, and hydraulic components and confirm that the yard accepts complete units.
