Brass Turnings – Purchase and Pricing

What Are Brass Turnings?

Brass turnings are a fine form of scrap created during machining processes such as turning, drilling, or milling brass components. Despite their small size, they are a valuable recyclable material used in various industrial applications.

How to Identify Brass Turnings?

Brass turnings can be recognized by:

• Their golden-yellow color (sometimes dulled by oils or coolants),
• Their form — fine, spiral chips or shavings,
• A distinct metallic sheen.

Some batches may contain residues of machining oils or other metals, which affect their purity and market value.

Applications of Brass Turnings

Brass turnings are typically sent to foundries and smelters, where — after proper cleaning — they are reused in the production of:

• New brass alloys,
• Hydraulic and sanitary components,
• Machine and equipment parts.

Brass Turnings Price

The price of brass turnings depends on:

• Current non-ferrous metal market rates,
• Purity level (presence of oils or mixed metals),
• Quantity of the delivered material.
