📊 What Determines Grade Value:
- Copper-to-Zinc Ratio: Higher copper content in Red Brass or Bronze Scrap results in a higher payout compared to zinc-heavy yellow alloys.
- Contamination Levels: The presence of steel screws, plastic handles, or rubber washers in Irony Brass will trigger a price markdown.
- Moisture & Oil: Industrial Brass Turnings are often docked if they are saturated with cutting fluids or coolant.
- Physical Prep: Removing steel stems from Water Meters or stripping plastic from Brass Shells increases the recovery rate at the smelter.
