Reseña del libro "A Fortune in Scrap - Secrets of the Scrap Metal Industry (en Inglés)"

A Fortune in Scrap - Secrets of the Scrap Metal IndustryA Fortune In Scrap is written by industry veteran, Ken Burtwell, and describes how reclamation is vital to the national economy and ranks high on the list of the nation's largest industries. We're not talking recycling plastic bottles and aluminum cans here - sure, that's something all of us can do, but what the average person doesn't know is the "hidden scrap" that's not obvious to the casual observer - and when salvaged properly - is worth a fortune! Ken shows you how to identify different metals with magnets and chemical tests and you'll learn how to prepare them for sale to get the BIGGEST BUCKS possible. Prep tools such as "Flame Cutting" and the awesome power of the "Thermic Lance" are described. From bridges and old buildings to old locomotives and the rails they run on, Ken covers this and shows you his (old) photos of buildings being demolished and their hidden gems. This is an example of BIG RECYCLING, and is a necessary process both from an economical and environmental point of view as there is a reduced demand on the Earth's natural resources. Included are formulas for estimating weights of steel drums, and tables showing weight-per-pound for different metal thicknesses. After reading Ken's "A Fortune in Scrap", you'll agree that recycling today is BIG BUSINESS and those having the moxie to forge ahead will be well rewarded.Topics covered in the book are: SteelThe Scrap Dealer or CollectorFlame Cutting Steel ScrapBetter GradeMore ValueMetal Scrap from DemolitionThe Thermic Lance (aka Thermal Lance)Railroads and Rail VehiclesReclamation EquipmentSheet Steel Gauges and WeightsMore Valuable Scrap MetalsCommon Metals: Lead And ZincLess Common Metals and Where To Find ThemIdentification of MetalsMagnetic TestingGovernment Scrap SalesPrecious MetalsSilver CoinsTesting Various MetalsScrap DealersTHANK YOU for reading about this very interesting book and we hope you enjoy your purchase.Please feel free to leave a review as this aids others greatly in their purchasing decision.
