Compare high-temperature alloys and specialty metals grades and their value
High-temp and specialty metals trade on specialized markets rather than standard exchanges. Nickel superalloys, cobalt alloys, tungsten carbide, and titanium each have their own buyer network and price basis. Identifying your material correctly before selling is the single most effective step to maximize your payout.
| Grade | Exchange (100%) | Yard Price (per lb) | Grade Quality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Specialty Copper Alloys | $6.49/ lb COMEX | $3.00/ lb | High Grade•46% |

📊 What determines the value of high-temperature alloys and specialty metals:
- Identification is everything: Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel, Waspaloy — without a mill cert or XRF confirmation, you'll be paid generic 'high-temp scrap' rates.
- Tungsten carbide / carbide inserts: One of the highest-value specialty items by weight. Cutting inserts, drill tips, and end mills must be separated from steel toolholders.
- Titanium: Grade 1/2 titanium brings the most. Mixed or contaminated titanium (welded joints, anodized) is discounted. Specialty buyers only.
- Magnesium: Low-density, highly reactive — many yards won't buy it at all. Requires a specialty recycler with safe handling.
- Tantalum / Cobalt: Extremely high value by weight; specialty buyers required. Always get multiple quotes.
