📊 What Determines Grade Value:
- Metal Purity:Soft Lead (Clean) is nearly 99% pure, making it the highest value tier compared to hard lead alloys.
- Attachment Weight:Wheel Weights (Hard Lead) often have steel clips attached; yards deduct for this iron contamination or pay a flat 'dirty' rate.
- Processing Hazard: Lead requires specialized handling due to toxicity. Higher safety overhead at the yard can influence the 76.7% market spread.
- Form & Cleanliness: Range Lead can be heavily contaminated with dirt, sand, and copper jacketing, requiring more refining time.
