Hastelloy C-2000 Scrap Buyer, Importer and Exporter in India
C-2000 looks like any other C-type Hastelloy until someone reads the copper. Mipra Steel buys and sells it as its own grade so it does not end up in a C-276 melt, where its copper is unwanted and its missing tungsten is a shortfall.
Sell Hastelloy C-2000 Scrap
Send the form, weight, location and photographs, with certificates naming N06200 or 2.4675 if you have them. A reading that shows copper near 1.6% and no tungsten confirms the grade. We review incoming enquiries and respond with relevant next steps.

Melters can state quantity, accepted forms, copper and tungsten limits and destination. Lots are described as Hastelloy C-2000, UNS N06200.
What Is Hastelloy C-2000 Scrap?
Hastelloy C-2000 is a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy in the same broad family as C-276 and C-22, with one deliberate difference: about 1.6% copper. Haynes International states that the copper addition provides greatly enhanced resistance to sulphuric acid. Combined with 23% chromium for oxidising media and 16% molybdenum for reducing media, it gives a single alloy that handles a wide range of process conditions. Typical uses named by Haynes are reactors and heat exchangers in the chemical process industry.
The scrap trade cares about two consequences of that recipe. First, C-2000 has no tungsten, unlike C-276 (about 4%) and C-22 (about 3%). Second, it carries copper, which most nickel alloy melters treat as a residual to be controlled. A C-2000 plate offcut dropped into a C-276 lot raises copper and lowers tungsten in the melt; the buyer of that lot will price for the risk.
Kept separate and documented, C-2000 is a high-value scrap: about 59% nickel and 16% molybdenum.
