Stainless Steel and High Nickel Alloy Scrap Grades We Buy
Scrap buying only works when the buyer understands metallurgy, not just weight. Sanghvi Overseas checks each lot against its exact alloy family before quoting a price, because grade confusion between similar-looking stainless and nickel alloys costs sellers money at the weighbridge. Sanghvi Overseas purchases austenitic, ferritic, martensitic, and duplex stainless steel scrap, sorting each by magnetic response and composition. The team also orders high nickel alloy grades such as Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy, either segregated or mixed with other metals. Industrial surplus and obsolete inventory qualify too, regardless of how long the material has sat unused.
Common Stainless Steel and High Nickel Alloy Grades Purchased
Sanghvi Overseas purchases seven common stainless steel grades and six specialty nickel alloy categories in scrap form, listed below.
| Material Category | Common Grades |

| Stainless Steel Scrap | 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 317L, 321, 347 |
| Duplex Stainless Steel Scrap | Duplex 2205, Super Duplex 2507 |
| Inconel Scrap | 600, 601, 625, 718 |
| Monel Scrap | 400, K500 |
| Hastelloy Scrap | C22, C276 |
| Nickel Alloy Scrap | Alloy 200, Alloy 201 |
Accepted Forms of Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloy Scrap
- Sheet and plate scrap offcuts and rejected panels from fabrication and pressing operations.
- Pipe and tube scrap, like cut sections and damaged lengths from installation projects.
- Round bar and flat bar scrap, like turning waste and unused stock from machining lines.
- Flanges and fittings scrap, like rejected or surplus flanges, elbows, and tees from piping work.
- Fastener scrap, like bolts, nuts, and washers rejected during quality checks.
- Wire and welding consumable scrap, like unused filler wire and spent electrode stubs.
- Machining turnings and borings, swarf and chips from CNC and lathe operations.
- Industrial equipment and component scrap, like decommissioned tanks, valves, and machine parts.
- Surplus stock and unused materials, excess inventory from cancelled or overestimated orders.
Sources of Scrap Materials
- Fabrication workshops generate offcuts and rejected weld pieces during routine production.
- EPC projects release surplus piping and fittings once construction phases close out.
- Process plants dispose of corroded vessels and replaced equipment during upgrades.
- Manufacturing facilities accumulate turnings and rejected components across production shifts.
- Plant shutdowns and maintenance activities free up decommissioned parts and worn components in bulk.
- Engineering and construction companies clear leftover material once project scopes finish.
Scrap Identification and Material Verification Process
Wrong grade identification means paying premium rates for lower grade material or missing the true nickel content concealed in a mixed lot. Verification ensures the grade is correct, prevents alloy contamination, ensures a fair valuation and keeps recovered material compliant with recycling and quality standards.
The first check is by visual inspection. The second check is by checking the heat number against the mill records, where applicable. PMI is on-site composition verification by handheld analysers. XRF analysis provides elemental content in seconds for high volume lots while spectrometer and laboratory chemical analysis are used for borderline or disputed material.
The evaluation is done in an organised manner. Inspection, grading, segregation and classification, weighing on calibrated scales, valuation and quotation. Final purchase, on agreement of terms by both parties.
Chemical Composition Analysis for High Nickel Alloy Scrap
Nickel alloy scrap varies in value depending on its composition, whereas carbon steel scrap is priced mainly by weight. Composition analysis is performed to find the value of alloys, metals that can be recovered like molybdenum in Hastelloy, and for proper classification. Skip it, and a buyer might price a Monel lot as generic nickel alloy instead of crediting its 63% minimum nickel content, undercutting the seller.
| Alloy Grade | Nickel Content (%) | Chromium Content (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Inconel 600 | 72 Min | 14–17 |
| Inconel 625 | 58 Min | 20–23 |
| Monel 400 | 63 Min | Low |
| Hastelloy C276 | Balance | 14.5–16.5 |
| Alloy 200 | 99 Min Ni | - |
Fast screening of high-volume intake is done by XRF testing, and OES analysis provides more detailed trace-element information for tighter tolerances. Laboratory testing is used to confirm the results on contested or high value lots and the material verification reports record each result for a transparent pricing history.
Industries Generating Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloy Scrap
- Oil and gas facilities replace corroded piping during scheduled turnarounds.
- Petrochemical plants discard reactor components after service-life expiry.
- Chemical processing units retire tanks damaged by aggressive environments.
- Power generation plants swap boiler tubing during major overhauls.
- Aerospace manufacturing produces machining scrap from tight-tolerance nickel alloy parts.
- Marine and shipbuilding sectors scrap corroded hull fittings during refits.
- Pharmaceutical and food processing plants replace stainless equipment to meet hygiene standards, and heavy engineering companies generate offcuts across large fabrication projects.
Equipment replacement, plant shutdowns, fabrication offcuts, maintenance projects, decommissioning, and surplus inventory disposal generate scrap across these nine sectors year-round.
High Nickel Alloy Scrap Recycling and Recovery Applications
Recycling nickel alloy scrap recovers metals that are expensive and slow to mine and refine. It promotes the sustainable use of resources, minimises the environmental footprint and reduces the reliance on virgin raw materials.
The recovered nickel is used in the production of superalloys for turbine parts, chromium for the production of new stainless steel, molybdenum for corrosion-resistant alloys, and cobalt for aerospace applications. The result: cost savings, energy conservation, waste reduction, and stronger circular economy support for domestic manufacturing.
Scrap Collection, Segregation and Logistics Capabilities
Sanghvi Overseas provides on-site scrap pickup, factory and warehouse collections, industrial dismantling support and scheduled procurement programs, ranging from a single skid to an entire decommissioned line.
Segregation by grade where possible, Stainless steel sorting separates austenitic, ferritic, martensitic and duplex material. Nickel alloy classification segregates Inconel, Monel and Hastelloy scrap. The mixed scrap option is still available, however, where pre-sorting is not possible. Logistics support covers transportation management, container loading assistance, weight verification at both collection and receiving points, and safe handling practices that prevent contamination before processing.
Bulk Stainless Steel and High Nickel Alloy Scrap Buying Services
Bulk buying involves long-term purchase agreements, scrap buying for projects, procurement for plant shutdowns, surplus stock liquidation and industrial asset recovery and includes stainless steel and high nickel alloy inventories, process equipment scrap, fabrication scrap, and excess project materials. Bulk sales mean quicker material clearance, better pricing on volume, easier logistics with consolidated pickup, and prompt payment after verification.
Fair Market Pricing for Stainless Steel and Nickel Alloy Scrap
Alloy grade dictates the base price, which is then adjusted by nickel content, condition of material, quantity, current market demand, quality of segregation and contamination levels. A clean, pre-sorted Inconel lot commands a different rate than a mixed, corroded batch of the same nominal grade.
Sanghvi Overseas ties every valuation to grade-based pricing and prevailing market rates, weighing each lot on calibrated scales with the seller present, and quotes offers tied to actual composition rather than estimation.
Why Choose Us as Your Stainless Steel and High Nickel Alloy Scrap Buyer
Sanghvi Overseas manufactures carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel forgings, so the scrap buying team already works with these exact material grades on the production floor. That background means the team recognizes a 316L offcut or an Inconel 625 turning on sight, instead of guessing.
PMI and XRF analysis confirm composition on-site within minutes, catching the difference between visually similar stainless and nickel alloy scrap before anyone sets a price. Every quote ties back to that tested composition and the same day's market rate.
Customer-focused procurement rounds out the service: a quick quotation process, flexible collection arrangements suited to the seller's schedule, efficient logistics management, and timely payment once the team verifies and accepts the material.
