Frequently Asked Questions about Raw Metals
Below, you’ll find information on raw metals, including how to clean and prevent raw metals from rusting, how to paint raw metals, and more.
What is Raw Metal?
Raw metal materials, or “metals in the raw”, are exactly as they sound – metal that has not yet been used for an industrial purpose. For example, this may refer to a round rod of raw aluminum or a raw stainless steel bar.
How to Clean Raw Metal
With the right products, you can clean raw metal and keep it looking new. Wear gloves to prevent oil from your skin from smudging your clean surface.
- If rust is visible on the surface of your metal, start by using a rust remover.
- Next, use acetone, rubbing alcohol, or a similar solvent to clean your raw metal.
- If some stains remain, clean them with baking soda mixed with water.
How to Keep Raw Metal from Rusting
Choosing to work with a raw metal alloy is the best way to prevent rust, as it is less likely to corrode; stainless steel is an excellent choice. Here are some other tips on how to keep raw metal from rusting:
- Coat it with oil, rust prevention products, a powder coating, or paint to prevent rust.
- Store the metal away from moisture to prevent rust, preferably in a temperature-controlled environment.
- Galvanizing or blueing the metal can also prevent rust.
How to Paint Raw Metal
Painting raw metal is easy, as long as you take the time to clean and prepare ahead of painting.
- Remove rust and clean the metal thoroughly.
- Choose a good metal paint.
- Apply multiple coats until you achieve the desired finish.
What are Raw Materials?
"Raw materials" is the term often used to describe unprocessed materials that are used to build other products. Raw materials can be divided into three types:
- Raw materials derived from the earth, including raw metals, crude oil, and coal.
- Raw materials derived from plants, including vegetables, wood, bamboo, etc.
- Raw materials derived from animals, including silk, bone, and leather.
At Remington Industries, you’ll find metal raw materials, including stainless steel and aluminum, available for purchase.
Is Metal a Raw Material?
Yes! As above, “raw materials” very commonly refers to metals in the raw. Although lumber, plastic, and other basic and untreated materials may be considered "raw materials", the term very often refers to metal raw materials, including raw aluminum, raw stainless steel, copper, and many others.
How is Metal Made from Raw Materials?
To create raw metals, metal ore must be extracted from the earth. Debris is then removed from the metal ore. Electrolysis or smelting is used to derive the metal from the ore.
