Overview
Large LNG and gas processing facilities in Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland use Inconel 625, Incoloy 825 and duplex, often as clad or lined pipe. Mineral and nickel processing, including acid leach plants, and alumina refineries use Hastelloy, titanium and duplex in acid and slurry service. Seawater desalination plants serving major cities add super duplex, 254 SMO and titanium. Distance from overseas melters makes consolidation and documentation important, and because many sites are remote, lots are often built up over time before shipment. Mipra Steel buys and sells nickel alloy scrap with buyers and suppliers in Australia: send us the grade, form, quantity and location.

FAQ
Which alloys come from Australian LNG plants?
Mainly Inconel 625 and Incoloy 825, often as clad or lined pipe, duplex and super duplex, and some Hastelloy in gas treatment. Clad pipe should be declared separately from solid alloy because its nickel alloy layer is bonded to carbon steel.
Why does Australian mineral processing produce alloy scrap?
Acid leach and other hydrometallurgical plants handle hot acids and abrasive slurries, so they use Hastelloy, titanium and duplex in vessels, piping and pumps. Replacing worn or corroded equipment releases these alloys as scrap.
Why is consolidation important for Australian scrap?
Many generating sites are remote and far from overseas melters, so freight is a significant part of the cost. Building lots up into full container loads, kept separate by grade and with clear paperwork, makes material easier to ship and to sell.
What documents are needed to ship alloy scrap from Australia?
A commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and radiation-free certificate are standard, with an analysis or PMI report as agreed. Containers also need a verified gross mass (VGM) declaration before loading. Confirm current requirements with your freight forwarder.
How do I offer Australian alloy scrap to Mipra Steel?
Send us the grade, form, quantity and location of the material, with any mill certificates, analysis or photos you have. We review incoming enquiries and respond with relevant next steps.
How are offers for Australia usually priced?
On an agreed Incoterm, most often FOB at the port of loading or CIF to the destination port, in US dollars per tonne or as a percentage of the nickel price for nickel alloys. The offer states the date, grade, form, condition, unit and basis.
