How are magnets used in junk yards?
Rather than "permanent" magnets, the large electromagnets used in junkyards only create a magnetic field when electric current flows through them. They are used to lift iron and steel scrap, and to separate it from non-magnetic scrap. The cranes have an electric generator connected to a wire coil in the large round lifting disc. When the power is on, its magnetic field attracts heavy iron and steel to it. When the scrap is positioned where they want it, they cut the power to the electromagnet and the scrap drops. They are attached to cranes and are used to lift up heaps of scrap metal
What type of things can be found at a scrap yard?
The types of things that can be found in a scrap yard depend on the type of scrap yard it is. Many scrap yards deal with just automotive scrap so one would find spare parts for cars there. Other scrap yards deal with just metals such as copper.
Can you show examples of electromagnetic change?
Electromagnets are used in places like scrap yards! to separate metals
Who will give you daily scrap metal recycling prices?
I collect scrap metals and bring to scrap recycling yards. How can I be sure I'm getting the best price for my efforts? Where do you find the current prices that tha scrap yards are getting for their scrap? There are many pay for and free sources of current scrap metal prices. Most scrap metal prices are based upon Comex and LME pricing less a percentage. If you call the scrap yard or recycling yard, ask them for their current prices and they will gladly provide. Just know what type of scrap metal you have so they can give you the prper pricing.
What happens inside a scrap heap magnet?
Scrap heap magnets are basically electromagnets. Electromagnets are simply wire coils usually would around an iron core. When connected to a DC voltage or current source, the electromagnet becomes energized, creating a magnetic field just like a permanent magnet. The magnetic flux density is proportional to the magnitude of the current flowing in the wire of the electromagnet.
Where can one look to find listings for local scrap yards?

How might one dispose of a totaled car?
A vehicle that has been totaled can be sold for scrap and parts through junk yards or scrap metal yards. Also there are several businesses that will pay a small amount of money to take the scrap from a totaled car.
Application that electromagnetic cranes have over standard cranes?
Usually in junk-yards handling scrap iron and steel. Only problem is some steel alloys- like stainless, are non-magnetic not attracted to the electromagnets.
What are the steps involved in recycling metal?
There are various stages in scrap metal recycling Collection The scrap metals have to be collected from the scrap yards or landfill. Most of the scrap metals are generated from the automobiles, railroad tracks, ship, farm equipment, pieces of machinery, product manufacturing. Sorting After collecting metal have to be sorted from other waste materials or metal stream. Magnets and sensors used for material separation in automated scrap recycling. Processing Metals are shredded into small pieces to ease the melting process as the shredded metals have a large surface to volume ratio. 4)Melting Scrap metals are melted in a large furnace. Each metal has a specific furnace designed in order to melt it. A large amount of energy required for this. The energy required to melt and recycle metals is comparatively less than the energy that is needed to produce metals using virgin raw materials. Based on the size of the furnace, the degree of heat of the furnace and volume of metal, melting can take from just a few minutes to hours. Purification It is done to eliminate the contaminants from scrap metals. The purified metal is of the highest quality. The common method used is electrolysis. Solidifying After purification, melted metals are carried to the conveyor belt to cool and solidify the metals. In this stage, scrap metals are formed into specific shapes such as bars that can be easily used for the production of various metal products. Transportation of the Metal Bars Once the metals are cooled and solidified, they are ready to use. They are then transported to various factories where they are used as raw material for the production of brand new products. When the products made of these metal bars come to the end of their useful life, the metal recycling process cycles again.
