COBALT:

Cobalt is a hard, lustrous, gray metal, a chemical element with symbol Co,  Cobalt occurs in various metallic-lustered ores, for example cobaltite, but is mainly produced as a by-product of copper and nickel mining. Cobalt is used in the preparation of magnetic, wear-resistant, and high-strength alloys. Smalte (cobalt silicate glass) and cobalt blue gives a distinctive deep blue color to glass, ceramics, inks, paints, and varnishes. Cobalt-60 is a commercially important radioisotope, used as a tracer and in the production of gamma rays for industrial use.

Cobalt and Cobalt Alloy scrap are recycled and used in a  variety of ways. Few general areas for which cobalt and cobalt alloy scrap are used:

• Super alloys
• Chemical compounds
• Cutting tools
• Magnetic properties
• Specialty steel

While producing the primary products, it is common in the mills to have problems in the production line on many aspects, which could be the chemistry, surface, edges, lamination, pits, rusting or any other problem. Hence, material with defects and not adhering to specific quality norm is traded as secondary/defective.

Available in higher content of Nickel, Moly etc. These material arise either from project leftovers or from manufacturers due to excess production, these are special alloys having a high market value. These materials are often disposed as scrap by end users. However we trace and procure such material at premium price than the scrap price. These materials may in forms tubes, pipes, sheets, plates, rods, bars, end pieces of pipes & plates, reusable pipe/plate etc. 

Nickel is a silvery-white lustrous metal with a slight golden tinge. It is one of the four ferromagnetic elements at about room temperature, other three being iron, cobalt and gadolinium. The metal is corrosion-resistant, finding many uses in alloys, as a plating, in the manufacture of coins, magnets and common household utensils, as a catalyst for hydrogenation, and in a variety of other applications. Nickel belongs to the transition metals and is hard and ductile. Nickel is chiefly valuable for the alloys it forms, especially many superalloys, and particularly stainless steel. Nickel is also used as a binder in the cemented tungsten carbide or hardmetal industry

Cupronickel (sometimes incorrectly written as "cupernickel" or "coppernickel") is an alloy of copper that contains nickel and strengthening elements, such as iron and manganese. A more familiar common use is in silver-coloured modern circulation coins. A typical mix is 75% copper, 25% nickel, and a trace amount of manganese. In the past true silver coins were debased with cupronickel. Despite high copper content, the colour of cupro-nickel remarkably is silver. It is used in thermocouples and the 55% copper/45% nickel alloy constantan is used to make resistors whose resistance is stable across changes in temperature.

Monel is a trademark of Special Metals Corporation for a series of nickel alloys, primarily composed of nickel (up to 67%) and copper, with some iron and other trace elements. Compared to steel, Monel is very difficult to machine as it work-hardens instantly with heat and does not harden into a constant matrix. It needs to be turned and worked at slow speeds and low feed rates. It is resistant to corrosion and acids, and some alloys can withstand a fire in pure oxygen. It is commonly used in applications with highly corrosive conditions. Small additions of aluminium and titanium form an alloy (K-500) with the same corrosion resistance but with much greater strength due to gamma prime formation on aging.

We deal in various grades of Nickel Copper Alloys such as Cupro-Nickel, Monel, Nickel-Silver, German-Silver, Chace, Eureka, Copel, CuNico, Constantan, Waukesha, Incramet800 etc.

We are one of the most recognized organizations in the Indian steel industry, offering a wide assortment of scraps. The range of scrap that we trade in includes variety of melting scraps. All these are procured from various manufacturing units, mills, warehouses, yards and recycling companies etc., present across the globe. Some of the common melting scraps that we deal in are as follows :  

• Stainless Steel Scrap (304, 316, 310 etc..)
• Nickel Scrap (Maize. Major, Malio, Niece etc..)
• Titanium scrap (Gr.2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12 etc..)  
• Cobalt Scrap concentrate

While producing the primary products, it is common in the mills to have problems in the production line / process on many aspects, which could be the chemistry, surface, edges, lamination, pits, rusting or any other problem. Hence, material with defects and not adhering to specific quality norm is traded on secondary / defective. We buy huge quantities of Carbon Steel Seamless/ERW & Alloy Steel seamless pipes from various tube/pipe mills across the world.

We also buy large quantities of prime-excess, surplus & project Leftovers material from the below industries:
