Hastelloy W Scrap Buyer and Seller
Most Hastelloy W in the market is welding wire and rod, so lots are small and often mixed with other filler wires. Keeping W apart matters because its 24% molybdenum is the reason anyone wants it.
Sell Hastelloy W Scrap
Tell us the form (spools, cut wire, rod ends, ring parts), weight, location and the spool labels or certificates (ERNiMo-3, ENiMo-3, AMS 5786). A reading with molybdenum near 24% and chromium near 5% confirms W. We review incoming enquiries and respond with relevant next steps.
Mipra Steel buys Hastelloy W scrap from sellers across India, with much of what we handle coming from the south: Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Coimbatore and Visakhapatnam. Our head office is in Khetwadi, Mumbai.
What Is Hastelloy W?
Haynes International says Hastelloy W was developed primarily as a filler metal for welding dissimilar alloys and is widely used for that in the gas turbine and aerospace industries. It is also used as a wrought alloy for ring-type parts in older gas turbine engines.
For a scrap seller, that means W usually turns up as unused or part-used wire spools, cut wire and rod from weld shops, and ring parts from engine overhaul. Spool labels carry the AWS designation ERNiMo-3, which is the easiest proof of grade.
W is listed with the Hastelloy alloys. HASTELLOY is a trademark of Haynes International, used here only to identify material.
