    it does seem like a dozen grades of AL! i hear that! i think AL clip sounds synonomous with AL turnings. its small clippings of sheet, or literal machine turnings, which the average scrapper doesnt really come across. because of the small thin pieces and the high surface area to volume ratio, they take it as lower grade because its more oxidized and yeilds less when refined. i will sort extrusion, cast, gutters/siding (when i have them), and cans. everything else gets thrown in a trash can till its full and i take dirty price for it. im good with that.

    its a crazy world we live in, and i gave up trying to understand it all

    Aluminum Clips
    A very common mix of 1100, 3003, 3004, 5005, 5052, 6061 and 6063. This mixture of alloys may also be found in aluminum MLC. This is most familiarized as most aluminum products with a sheet like appearance, free of any forien elements
