Titanium solids
Plate drops, bar ends, billets, and cutoffs (e.g. Ti-6Al-4V) when grade is known or clearly stamped. Full guide: sell titanium drops.

Specialty solids we buy
We buy titanium, nickel-alloy, and tool-steel solids — plate drops, remnants, bar ends, billets, cutoffs — when another shop can still cut a part. We value them as reusable stock after review; most when certified and clearly identifiable. Unlabeled specialty usually goes to ID hold or decline. We do not buy chips, turnings, swarf, or mixed piles.
Accepted specialty types
Examples of types we review — not a live inventory list. We do not claim stock on hand.
Nickel-alloy solids
Inconel, Hastelloy, and similar solids when identifiable — remachinable geometry preferred. Full guides: sell Inconel drops and sell Hastelloy and Monel drops.
Tool-steel solids
Known-grade blanks, cutoffs, and billets. Clear stamps and docs raise the reuse band.
Remachinable geometry
Pieces another shop can still cut a part from — reuse before melt. Photos of stamps/labels help.
Not accepted
Chips / turnings / swarf
Ti, Ni, and tool-steel chips, turnings, and swarf are declined at intake — solids only.
Mixed mystery piles
Unlabeled multi-alloy drums and mixed floor sweepings — not specialty solids intake.
Insert scrap / sludge
Carbide insert scrap is out of scope. Solid carbide rods & blanks → solid carbide.
Ownership-uncertain
Ownership certification required. Suspicious or unowned lots are flagged or declined.
Why certs matter here
Specialty alloys without marks are hard to sell as reuse stock. Clear stamps plus MTR/heat docs unlock stronger reuse-first offers after review. Unlabeled specialty usually gets an ID hold or decline — we do not invent alloy identity. There is no public $/lb board on this site.
FAQ
Specialty solids only — Ti, Ni alloys, tool steel. Chips, turnings, and unmarked mystery piles are out.
Do you buy titanium turnings?
No. Solids only — plate drops, remnants, bar ends, billets, and cutoffs. We do not buy titanium chips, turnings, or swarf.
Do you buy Inconel / Hastelloy drops?
Yes — nickel-alloy solids when identifiable and preferably remachinable. Certs, heat docs, and clear stamps are strongly preferred. Offers after review; unlabeled Ni usually goes to ID hold or decline. See sell Inconel drops and sell Hastelloy and Monel drops.
What if the alloy is unmarked?
ID hold or decline. We will not invent a grade or alloy identity on unclear specialty material.
Is this a scrapyard price board?
No. Offers after human review. No public rate card and no automatic buy.
Why reuse before scrap?
Remachinable specialty solids are reuse stock; crushing that geometry for melt wastes material another shop buys new. We do not invent CO₂ or diversion numbers.
Do you buy Ti-6Al-4V (or other known Ti grade) bar ends and plate drops?
Yes when the piece is a solid drop, remnant, bar end, billet, or cutoff and the grade is stamped, tagged, or documented. Known Ti grades with certs/heat docs earn the strongest reuse band after review. Mystery titanium-looking solids without ID go to ID hold or decline — see how we value.
What about tool-steel grades (D2, A2, H13, O1, etc.)?
Known-grade tool-steel blanks, cutoffs, and billets are in scope when clearly identifiable. Stamps, shop travelers, and MTRs raise the band. Unlabeled “tool steel” tubs without grade marks usually land in ID hold or decline. More on grades and annealed vs hardened: sell tool steel drops. Submit via /sell.
What if Ti, Inconel, and stainless are mixed in one tote?
Separate streams before you submit. Segregated, labeled specialty solids are reviewable. Mixed multi-alloy mystery totes are declined or held for ID — we will not invent grades from a mixed pile. Same rule as solids we don't buy.
What photos and docs help a specialty solids offer?
Piece-level photos showing solid form and any stamps/labels, approximate sizes/weight, alloy/grade if known, and mill cert / heat / MTR docs when available. Certs + clear ID unlock the higher reuse band; unlabeled specialty often gets ID hold. Ownership certification is required on /sell.
