Description
Cast iron scrap is used in foundries and metal recycling.
Cast iron scrap, including old engine blocks, brake drums, pipes, and machinery, is a valuable recyclable material often sold to foundries for re-melting. Prices vary based on grade—such as “cast iron small” (R 1.50/kg) or “large cast iron” (R 0.50/kg)—and cleanliness. It is a critical, durable material used in manufacturing new castings, particularly in automotive and construction sectors.
