Got ACRs? TALK to us! We pay top dollar for both clean and irony-end ACRs.⠀

FedMet has invested in the most cutting-edge processing technologies—we can value our inputs higher because customers value our outputs higher. Which means more money for your #ACRs.

It was a sad year for #pennies.
In 1943 the U.S. mint struck one-cent coins in steel due to wartime shortages of #copper. Of course, the #penny in your pocket today is actually only 2.5 percent copper now anyway. But seriously, does anyone out there actually have a penny in their pocket?

Did You Know?⠀
⠀
A #copper strip can act as a natural barrier against slugs and snails in your garden. When their slime touches the metal, it creates a small electric charge—enough to send them crawling the other way!⠀
⠀
Who knew copper could be so... menacing? 😈

It`s Monday! Meet Borbor.⠀
⠀
Hailing from Liberia, Borbor has been blessing us with his smile nearly every day for the last 18 years. He`s filled a number of roles on the FM team, but has been our rock solid saw operator for most of the last decade. Oh yea, and that SMILE! This guy always brightens our day.

Happy #FourthOfJuly from the Federal Metal team! Our in-house version of #fireworks might come with a little more heat and a lot more #copper—but we think they still count.⠀
⠀
Wishing all of you a safe, fun and relaxing time on this long holiday weekend.

The Fourth is almost here! But there’s something great about the day before, too. Getting the flags flying, slowing the pace and plugging in to summer. Wherever you are today—at work, on the road, or already on the water—we hope it’s a good one!

At Federal Metal, we’ve been #recycling and refining #copper for more than a century—because we know how critical it is to American manufacturing. But too much scrap is leaving the country. It’s time to strengthen domestic production and keep copper working for the U.S. economy.⠀
⠀
We’re proud to stand with the Copper Development Association and others in saying: #CopperIsCritical.⠀

Bonne fête du Canada!

It’s Monday! Meet Uncle Sam.⠀
⠀
Legend has it he was born in Troy, NY during the War of 1812—and while the details may be debated, the legacy isn’t. #UncleSam has come to represent the #American spirit of #HardWork, grit, and service.⠀
⠀
Troy has produced more than one legend, though. Just ask our longtime partners at @rossvalve, who’ve been making precision water control valves there since 1879. We’re proud our #ingot helps power that legacy too!

The metal’s not the only thing that needs to cool down. We ran hot all week too—time to cool off! Happy #Friday everyone.

Chemistry Quiz Time! 🧪⠀
⠀
Atoms are usually neutral, with protons and electrons in balance. But take away an electron, and you introduce charge, reactivity, and a whole new role in chemical reactions.⠀
⠀
So two questions in this quiz: What do we call an atom with more protons than electrons? And does #copper ever exist in this form?
