Old chrome-plated zinc die-cast automotive grilles. Plating (Cu/Ni/Cr) is managed within the zinc melt chemistry.

Scoot — Old Zinc Die-Cast Automotive Grilles: A historically important grade covering old chrome-plated zinc die-cast automotive grilles removed from end-of-life vehicles. The chrome plating (typically copper undercoat + nickel + chrome) must be accounted for in the metal recovery calculation, as it introduces copper and nickel contamination to the zinc melt. Scoot is processed by secondary zinc smelters who strip or accommodate the plating metals in their alloy chemistry management.
