How much does scrap iron lose per ton?

The loss per ton of scrap iron cutting depends on the cutting method, as follows:

1. Mechanical cutting: iron filings are usually cut with serrated rotary scraper and high-speed saw blade. Due to the uniform mechanical cutting force and high requirements for cutting tools, the loss of iron filings per ton is about 0.2-0.25 tons.

2. Oxygen cutting: high-speed flowing oxygen reacts with steel to cut. The loss per ton of scrap iron by this method is about 0. 1-0. 15 tons.

3. Laser cutting: using high-intensity laser to cut iron filings. Compared with other methods, the laser cutting speed is faster, and the loss of iron filings per ton is about 0.05-0. 1 ton.

4. Water jet cutting: high-pressure water flow cuts iron filings. This method requires less tools, but a lot of water for cooling, and the loss per ton of scrap iron is about 0.08-0. 12 tons.

Generally speaking, the loss per ton of scrap iron is about 0.2-0.25 tons. Therefore, when cutting iron filings, we should fully consider the loss and actual demand and choose the appropriate cutting method, so as to minimize the loss and improve the efficiency.
