Molybdenum Turning Scrap

Scrap generated from machining molybdenum rods and bars, consisting of fine metal turnings and chips with high molybdenum content. Classified under HTS 8102.97.00.00 as waste and scrap of molybdenum, distinct from unwrought or semi-manufactured forms. Purity typically exceeds 99% molybdenum by weight.

Molybdenum Machining Swarf

Wet or dry swarf from CNC machining of molybdenum components, primarily metal fines and coolant-contaminated particles. Falls under HTS 8102.97.00.00 as molybdenum scrap unfit for direct reuse without processing. Excludes any finished articles or bars.

Molybdenum Electrode Scrap

Discarded ends and trimmings from molybdenum electrodes used in glass melting furnaces. This waste material is classified as molybdenum scrap under HTS 8102.97.00.00 due to its metallurgical grade and recycling suitability. Typically 99.9% pure molybdenum.

Molybdenum Wire Crop Ends Scrap

Short crop ends and rejects from molybdenum wire drawing operations, collected as scrap for remelting. HTS 8102.97.00.00 applies to this clean, high-purity waste (98-99.5% Mo). Not suitable as finished wire products.

Molybdenum Furnace Lining Scrap

Scrap recovered from worn molybdenum furnace linings in high-temperature applications like sapphire crystal growth. Classified under HTS 8102.97.00.00 as molybdenum-containing waste, post-oxidation removal. Requires chemical recovery for reuse.

Molybdenum Sputtering Target Scrap

Used molybdenum targets from semiconductor thin-film deposition processes, machined to remove used surfaces. This high-purity scrap (99.99% Mo) falls under HTS 8102.97.00.00 for recycling into new targets. Cleaned but not remelted.
