Materials and grades

Find the metal your production needs.

Orion supplies sorted stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass and zinc, and deals in Zurik and Zorba. Grade, composition and availability are confirmed for each enquiry. A material name alone doesn't make it suitable for every process, so send us your specification.

What we buy

Both are mixed streams. Their names don't promise one metal's purity, so composition and non-metal content are discussed for each lot. Zurik and Zorba are trade names defined in the ReMA (formerly ISRI) Scrap Specifications Circular; the actual specification is confirmed for each offer.

Mixed stream

Zurik

Shredded mixed metal, mostly stainless steel, with smaller amounts of other metals and some non-metallic material.

Mixed stream

Zorba

Shredded mixed non-ferrous metal, mostly aluminium, with copper, brass, zinc and other metals.
