Demolished Bridge I-Beam Scrap

Cut segments from weathered steel I-beams recovered from bridge demolition, featuring rivet holes and weld marks, average length 1-2 meters. Fits HTS 7204.49.00.60 as structural scrap for remelting, excluding intact fabricated structures. High carbon content from weathering makes it ideal for rerolling.
