• Stainless steel, which contains iron, chromium, and often nickel, molybdenum, and other elements, is an alloy with
  applications ranging from household cutlery to reactor tanks for the chemical industry
• Stainless steels are highly recyclable and typically contain 60% recycled material. In addition, the structural shells of passenger rail cars of today's fast trains are often constructed of austenitic stainless steel for structural strength and improved crash protection for passengers: austenitic stainless steel absorbes energy as it crumples rather than fractures. And after a long service life with low maintenance, the rail car stainless steel will be recovered, recycled and returned to service: Lasting value from stainless steel.
• Over last 2 years India has become the largest SS scrap buyer in Asia.
  Other then the 2 large producers all other are Induction furnace using much higher scrap input ratio.
• In general, iron and steel scrap recycling involves collection, sorting, baling, packetting, cutting,
  shearing, shredding and/or sizing, possibly also cryogenic processes, and final melting at the
  steelworks
• Scrap availability is a limiting factor in the recycling of stainless steel
• In the case of stainless steel, larger pieces are collected separately or sorted in the scrap
  yard before shredding. Smaller particles of stainless steel are separated by multiple-step separations.
