automotive parts, used tools, lawnmower decks, and the like. Scrap processors buy this
scrap.
In addition to the magnesiumbase scrap, considerable quantities of magnesium are
incorporatedinaluminumalloys,whichcanalsoberecycled.Althoughsomemagnesium

orderofimportanceprimarilyofsolids,turningsandborings,drossandskimmings,and
other materials that include foil and canstock clippings. Because the primary aluminum
product,whichcontainsmagnesiumisbeveragecans,themajor magnesiumcontaining,
aluminumbase scrap is can scrap skeleton obtained from lids and can sheet clippings.
Thiscorrespondstoabout1/2oftheoverallmagnesiumcontaining,aluminumbasescrap.
Old aluminumbase scrap consists many materials, however the principal magnesium
containingcomponentisusedaluminumbeveragecans(UBC's).Duetothehighrecycling
rate, aluminum beverage cans represent about three quarters of the magnesium
containing, old aluminumbase scrap, which is reprocessed. The magnesium in old and
newaluminumbasescrapisnotseparated from the aluminum alloy when it is recycled
instead, it is kept back as an alloying component. Therefore, the magnesium recycling
industry depends on three primary componentsUBC's, old and new magnesiumbase
scrap,andnewaluminumbasescrap.
