Overview
Japan manufactures heavy-duty gas turbines, boilers and other power equipment, and its power stations overhaul turbines on regular cycles, releasing superalloy blades, vanes and combustion parts. The aerospace industry produces engine and airframe components, generating Inconel 718 and titanium machining scrap. Chemical and petrochemical complexes in coastal industrial areas such as Chiba, Kawasaki and Mizushima use Hastelloy, Incoloy and Inconel in corrosive service. Shipbuilding and marine engineering add Monel and duplex from seawater systems. Material made in Japan is often certified to JIS standards. Mipra Steel buys and sells nickel alloy scrap with buyers and suppliers in Japan: send us the grade, form, quantity and location.

Industries in Japan That Generate the Scrap
- Power equipment: Gas turbine manufacturing and power station overhauls release superalloy blades, vanes and Hastelloy X combustion parts.
- Aerospace: Engine and airframe component production generates Inconel 718 and titanium turnings and offcuts.
- Chemicals and petrochemicals: Coastal chemical and petrochemical complexes use Hastelloy, Incoloy and Inconel in corrosive and high-temperature service.
- Shipbuilding: Shipyards and marine engineering use Monel and duplex in seawater pumps, valves and piping.
Documents for Shipments to and from Japan
- Commercial invoice, packing list and bill of lading
- Certificate of origin
- Radiation-free certificate
- Analysis or PMI report, as agreed between buyer and seller
Offers are made on an agreed Incoterm, commonly FOB or CIF. See export documents and Incoterms.

Material made in Japan is often certified to JIS standards, while export and project material is also commonly supplied to ASTM and ASME specifications.
See the standards reference, including ASTM B, ASME SB and AMS.
FAQ
Which superalloy scrap comes from Japanese power equipment?
Gas turbine manufacturing and overhauls release blades, vanes, combustion liners and transition pieces in nickel-based superalloys and Hastelloy X. Coated and uncoated parts should be kept separate, and the alloy identified from drawings, certificates or analysis where possible.
What is JIS?
Japanese Industrial Standards, the national standards for materials and products in Japan. Nickel alloys made in Japan may carry JIS designations, such as NCF 600 for alloy 600, alongside or instead of ASTM ones, so a cross-reference helps buyers outside Japan identify the grade.
Does Japanese shipbuilding produce nickel alloy scrap?
Shipbuilding and marine engineering use Monel 400, duplex stainless and titanium in seawater pumps, valves, piping and heat exchangers. These grades are released as offcuts during construction and as used parts during repair, and are usually easy to identify.
What documents are needed to ship alloy scrap from Japan?
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 between buyer and seller. Confirm current export requirements with your freight forwarder before shipment.
How do I offer Japanese 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 Japan 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.
