Materials we buy
High-Nickel & Specialty Alloys
Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, titanium and tool steels. Mis-grading these is expensive, so every load is analyzed and documented before it moves.
- Weighed on
- Certified scales
- Class
- Non-ferrous
Forms we accept
What counts as specialty alloys
- Inconel 600 / 625 / 718
- Monel and Hastelloy
- Titanium solids and turnings
- Tool steel and carbide
- Nickel-bearing superalloy scrap
Industries we collect it from
- Aerospace and defense
- Power generation
- Chemical and petrochemical
- Tool and die
How we collect it
The container decides the grade.
Material that gets mixed on the floor cannot be un-mixed at the scale. Placing the right container at the point of generation is the single highest-return change most facilities make.
Self-dumping hoppers
Forklift-handled hoppers that empty into a larger container without manual handling.
4x4 Gaylord boxes & pallets
Corrugated bulk boxes for clean, high-value non-ferrous right at the machine.
IBC totes
Contained handling for turnings, borings and fines.
55-gallon drums
Point-of-generation separation for small, high-value streams.
Specialized containers
Custom metal bins built to your footprint, weight and process. Special order.
Questions
Specialty Alloys — the questions we get
- Does Custom Recycling buy specialty alloys scrap?
- Yes. We buy high-nickel & specialty alloys from industrial and commercial accounts across the Carolinas, including inconel 600 / 625 / 718, monel and hastelloy, titanium solids and turnings, tool steel and carbide. Material is weighed on certified scales and graded before settlement.
- Which industries do you collect specialty alloys from?
- Most commonly aerospace and defense, power generation, chemical and petrochemical, tool and die. If your process generates it as a by-product, there is almost certainly a container configuration that captures it cleanly.
- How do I know my specialty alloy will not be graded as stainless?
- Because it is analyzed, documented and kept separate from the moment it is picked up. Inconel graded as 304 is one of the most expensive mistakes in this industry, which is why alloy verification happens at your facility rather than after the container has been tipped.
