📊 What Determines Ferrous Grade Value:
- Density & Thickness: Mills want heavy melting steel (HMS). Quarter-inch thick plate pays massively more than thin gauge tin.
- Preparation: If a yard has to torch your 10-foot I-beam down to a 3-foot section, they'll buy it as Unprepared and pay you less.
- Contamination: Dirt, concrete on rebar, or heavy rust scale will get your load downgraded to shred.
- Market Spread: Local demand and the 49.5% margin against the CME dictate what the scale actually pays.
