aluminium scrap


Explanation:
Straight forward translation works well here.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
disagree  Pertti Hietaranta: Does not fit the foundry context. "Chaff" only relates to radar jamming, cf. e.g. https://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/sys... For foundries, "aluminium scrap" is fully ok, cf. e.g. https://www.aluminumresources.com/.
