Yellow Brass Scrap Honey
What Is Yellow Brass Scrap (Honey Grade)?
Yellow brass scrap, commonly known as Honey, is a high-value brass alloy scrap composed mainly of copper and zinc, typically with a bright yellow or golden appearance. It is widely preferred in recycling due to its clean composition, ease of melting, and stable metallurgical properties.
In the recycling industry, Honey-grade yellow brass is considered a premium category because of its purity and low contamination.
