  1. btw i have all size material , the lumps , aggregate size and fines. so no breaking up required . doesn't hemetit have more of a rust color . these are grayish blue to black in color. Matt i will give you some if you want to melt it . i want to know what this is how it melts anything i can find out . if you cant see from the picture the tops of these are flat as if they have already been melted.


  2. Sounds like an iron ore with that much O2---is that a weight per cent BTW?

    How many tons do you have? Scrap Steel is under $200 a ton, ore would be much much cheaper!

    If the Si was higher I'd think it was a slag.

    If it is an ore you might be able to sell some of the nicer samples at rock shops.



    I went back and look at the analysis and it states

    "The chemical composition that was performed only provides the amount of each individual element that is in the material based on weight percent "

    We thought it was ore at first, but there aren't an nasty impurities to it. it all trace amounts of mostly everything and someone burned off all the carbon somehow . i cant tell if its weight per cent . not sure what that means if it is or is not .
  4. I just sold scrap steel for 300 a ton 2 weeks ago. There is in my back yard . It use to belong to rolling mill factory, i think they built railroad spikes and iron plates . part of the old tredagar iron works, dating back to the civil war. the recycling plant testes with the rx gun and it cam back as 97% fe . the chemical analysis, i dont know if that is weight per cent

  5. I found this material on my land and i would like to find a use for it. It is magnetic and heavy (in the iron family ) it doesn't seem to rust though. I had 2 pieces analyzed and they came back, the first

    1) 73% fe, <0.003 C and the remainder is oxygen other metals ARE MANGANESE .43 silicon .76 al .65 the res is trace amounts.

    the second 2) fe 65% .001 C, MANGANESE.34 silicon 2.6 al 3.08 titanium .24 the rem is oxygen

    I would like to sell this if i can ,and i would really like to know what it is. I can also upload the analysis sheet if necessary.
    thanks in advance
