ABOUT HIGH NICKEL ALLOY SCRAP

Why high nickel alloy scrap is valuable

High nickel alloys such as Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy resist heat and corrosion. Their scrap keeps that value, which is why it is in steady demand for re-melting.

The price of nickel alloy scrap depends on the grade, the nickel and other metal content, the condition of the material and the quantity. We assess each lot on those factors instead of quoting a flat rate.

If you have scrap to sell, send photographs, the grade if known, an approximate weight and any test certificate. We will inspect and quote.
