Where Alloy Scrap Comes From in Bengaluru
Bengaluru is a major centre of India's aerospace and defence manufacturing, alongside the engineering units of Peenya and Bommasandra and a large precision machining base. That mix generates scrap in recognisable forms:
- Aerospace machining: bar ends, forging offcuts and turnings in Inconel 718, Waspaloy, Udimet and titanium Grade 5.
- Engine and turbine work: blades, vanes and hot-section sheet in superalloys and cobalt alloys.
- Tool rooms and machine shops: worn tungsten carbide inserts and end mills, and tungsten heavy alloy offcuts.
We do not name the companies we buy from; lots are described by grade, form and evidence.
