Leth Iron’s material surcharge is an alloy specific per-lb charge applied to all invoices at time of shipment.

The surcharge incorporates the ever-fluctuating costs of:

  • Pig Iron
  • Steel Scrap
  • Carbon
  • Ferrosilicon
  • Magnesium Ferrosilicon
  • Ferrochrome
  • Ferromolybdenum
  • Copper
  • Electricity

By charging a material surcharge Leth Iron can maintain consistent piece-pricing without the need for constant price adjustments to account for the fluctuations of commodity prices. The surcharge is adjusted monthly based on a rolling average of real-world purchase data.
