Описание: Project: MTS-226 Materials and Manufacturing Processes Task 6: Market Research on Industrial Materials & Scrap Rates Student: Muhammad Abdullah | CMS ID: 502119 Department: Mechatronics Engineering, NUST CEME

Abstract: This video presents the findings of a market research survey conducted in the local industrial markets of Rawalpindi. The objective was to determine current market rates for raw polymers and metal scrap while decoding the "Desi" local terminologies used by vendors versus standard engineering nomenclature.

Key Terminologies Covered:

1. Polymers (Plastics):

Crush Dana (Yellow): Polypropylene (PP) Regrind – Rs. 275/kg

HD Scrap Washed: Recycled HDPE Pellets – Rs. 230/kg

Samika: Recycled LLDPE (Film/Shopping Bags) – Rs. 210/kg

Masterbatch: Color Concentrate Pigment – Rs. 1,400/kg

2. Metal Scrap (Iron/Steel):

Art Chant (آرت چانٹ): Sorted Scrap (Hand-separated) – Rs. 185/kg

Art Toke (آرت ٹوک): Busheling / Sheared Scrap (Clean clips) – Rs. 195/kg

Art Nigar (آرت نگر): Heavy Melting Scrap (HMS) – Rs. 205/kg

Art Qainchi (آرت قینچی): Mechanically Sheared Sheet Metal – Rs. 190/kg

3. Industrial Stock:

Bala (بالا): Steel Billet / Ingot – Rs. 235/kg

Bari (باری): Turnings / Swarf (Lathe waste) – Rs. 140/kg

Shim Sheets: Precision Shim Stock (0.02–1.0mm) – Rs. 4,000/kg

D2 Steel: Cold Work Tool Steel (Imported) – Rs. 3,500/kg

Note: Rates are based on market inquiries in Rawalpindi/Lahore as of December 2025 and are subject to fluctuation based on currency exchange rates.
