Why Use the Alloy Codes / Mark-ups Procedure?
Alloy costs for stainless steel are tradition within certain trades. When purchasing stainless steel, the alloy cost is added to the regular price. The alloy costs are updated per month by steel wholesalers. These costs are affected by the world market price for alloying metal. The current alloy cost at the time of delivery is used.
Sometimes a supplier in the processing industry that has purchased the raw material of stainless steel, can charge the alloy cost separately for a processed detail. This supplier will neither risk nor benefit from the fluctuations of the alloy costs.
