Is stainless steel a nonferrous metal?
Stainless steel is a ferrous metal, but it is sometimes classified as nonferrous by the recycling and scrap industries.A ferrous metal is one that contains primarily iron. Nonferrous metals are all metals other than iron, and alloys without an appreciable iron content.Chemically, stainless steels are 75-90% iron. They are alloyed with varying amounts of chromium, nickel, and/or molybdenum. Some grades of stainless steel are magnetic, some are not. The different grades also have different welding characteristics; some are easy to weld while others are difficult.Scrapyards that move ferrous metals with electromagnets may classify the nonmagnetic grades of stainless steel as nonferrous for handling purposes.Scrap dealers may also categorize stainless steel as nonferrous because the dollar value associated with scrap stainless steel is dependant on the alloy content; the alloys are much more valuable than iron. For these dealers, price is the primary interest and their classification as nonferrous is based on the price they can obtain from the alloy metals in the steel.These classifications are specialized industry uses of the term nonferrous. Generally and scientifically, all stainless steels are ferrous metals because the majority of their chemical content is iron.Stainless steel is a ferrous alloy, but it is sometimes classified as nonferrous by the recycling and scrap industries.

What is the difference between scraping and scrapping?
Scraping means:"To remove (an outer layer, for example) from a surface by forceful strokes "Whereas scrapping means:1.

Abolish or cancel (something, esp. a plan, policy, or law) that is now regarded as unnecessary, unwanted, or unsuitable
Different between waste and spoilage and scrap?
Waste :-In the production process,waste of material does occur,such waste has no recoverable scheme,hence there is no chance of recovery from it. Scrap:- is the incidental material residue coming out of certain types of manufacturing processes,usually of small amount and low value,recoverable without further processing. Spoilage :- refers to goods damaged beyond rectification and which are to be sold suitably without further processing.
