PRODUCT Overview

Turnings are fine, spiral-shaped steel scrap produced during machining processes such as turning, milling, and lathe operations. They are typically collected from manufacturing lines and consist of clean, uniform ferrous material. Bright Metals supplies turnings that meet mill specifications, providing a consistent, high-quality feedstock for efficient steelmaking.

What We Supply

Bright Metals sources turnings directly from machining and fabrication operations. Each batch is carefully processed to remove excess oils and contaminants, ensuring compliance with mill standards. Our programs prioritize quality, traceability, and operational efficiency for industrial clients.
