German term or phrase: Ausläufer
Aus einer Firmenbeschreibung:

Wir beschäftigen uns seit mehr als 2o Jahren mit dem Handel von NE-Metallen.
Al-Legierungsschrott (AlMg, AlMgSi, etc.)
Al-Gussschrott mit und ohne Anhaftungen
Al-Späne
Al-AlCu Kühlerschrott
Al-Krätzen und *Ausläufer*

Ich habe die Übersetzung "spouts" gefunden, allerdings möchte ich dieser Quelle nicht blind vertrauen.
Kennt sich jemand in dem Bereich aus und weiß, ob das die korrekte Übersetzung ist?

spouts


Explanation:
As you suggested, based on the following parallel translation (which could very well be the one that you have seen):


Aluminium **spouts** (= metallic aluminium, which after draining of the dross from the Aluminium-dross mixture, is poured out and contains a high metal content and low contents of oxidic dross) bundesabfallwirtschaftsplan.at

Aluminium-** Ausläufer** (= metallisches Aluminium, das nach dem Abziehen der Krätze aus dem Aluminium-Krätze-Gemisch ausläuft und sehr hohe Mengen an Metall und geringe Anteile [...] bundesabfallwirtschaftsplan.at

leaker


Explanation:
This translation is given in Goetzel's Dictionary of Materials and Process Engineering. Apparently, a leaker is a casting which leaks under liquid/gaseous pressure. However, I could not say whether it would be suitable in this case.
