📊 What Determines Grade Value:
- Alloy Composition: Series like 6061 and 6063 contain magnesium and silicon, making them more valuable for extrusion plants than mixed old sheet.
- Contamination Levels: Steel screws, rubber gaskets, or plastic coatings significantly drop the price to 'Irony' or 'Dirty' grades.
- Weight-to-Volume Ratio: Light gauge foil or turnings take up more space in a truck but weigh less, often leading to lower 'fluff' pricing.
- Surface Prep: Removing paint, grease, or thermal breaks can jump your material from a low-tier painted grade to a clean premium grade.
