Brake drums and rotors

These are considered cast iron not steel, correct?
Thanks,

I always put mine with the cast Iron.

cool thanks

They are a completely different grade of cast. If the yard is smart enough they have a pile of sorted automotive cast. They should have four piles of cast. Heavy breakable cast, stove cast (tubs, pipes, fire hydrants, radiators) autocast brake discs in one pile break drums in another pile. That's four grades why mix it all together you are just costing yourself more money at the end of the day. Whoops I forget gas and diesel engines get there own seperate pile to.

PSP, brake rotors and drums go in separate piles?

PSP how much more is clean engine cast over the brake drums.

If your yard is smart they all go in seperate piles why send in everything as heavy breakable cast and get the lowest price there is. Or segregate it all and get the most money out of your scrap.

We also have a porcelain cast pile which we pay $10 less at ton than regular cast.

Haven't seen that before, what is it - old tubs and stuff like that?

I'd call the yard to be sure, one of mine pays separate for rotors and one has me toss them in with my regular steel.
