Overview
Spain runs several large refineries and petrochemical complexes, including the chemical cluster at Tarragona and coastal refineries near Cartagena, Huelva and Algeciras. Their reformers, furnaces and heat exchangers use Inconel, Incoloy and Hastelloy, which are released as scrap during turnarounds. Aerospace manufacturing, with aircraft and component plants around Madrid, Seville and Cádiz, produces titanium and nickel alloy machining scrap. Combined-cycle gas power stations add superalloy turbine parts at overhaul. Spain also operates seawater desalination plants, which use duplex stainless. Mipra Steel buys and sells nickel alloy scrap with buyers and suppliers in Spain: send us the grade, form, quantity and location.

Industries in Spain That Generate the Scrap
- Refining: Coastal refineries release Inconel, Incoloy and Hastelloy from reformers, furnaces and heat exchangers during turnarounds.
- Petrochemicals: The chemical cluster at Tarragona uses nickel alloys in corrosive and high-temperature process service.
- Aerospace: Aircraft and component plants around Madrid, Seville and Cádiz generate titanium and nickel alloy turnings and offcuts.
- Power generation: Combined-cycle gas power stations release superalloy turbine blades, vanes and combustion parts at overhaul.

FAQ
Which Spanish industries generate nickel alloy scrap?
Refining and petrochemicals, aerospace manufacturing and power generation are the main sources, with chemical plants and desalination adding further material. Each produces a different mix, from corrosion-resistant alloys in refineries to superalloys and titanium in aerospace and power.
What titanium scrap comes from Spanish aerospace?
Mainly Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) machining scrap such as turnings, offcuts and solids from structural parts, plus some commercially pure titanium. Turnings should be clean, dry and kept apart from other metals, since contamination limits for titanium are strict.
Which EU rules apply to exporting scrap from Spain?
Waste shipments leaving the EU follow the EU Waste Shipment Regulation. Green-listed waste such as clean metal scrap normally moves with Annex VII documents. The revised regulation tightens rules on exports of non-hazardous waste to non-OECD countries from May 2027, so check the destination before contracting.
What certificates come with Spanish material?
Material produced or supplied in Spain usually carries EN 10204 inspection certificates, typically type 3.1, with grades described by ASTM or ASME designations and W.Nr. numbers. Keeping these certificates with the scrap helps buyers confirm the original alloy.
How do I offer Spanish 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 Spain 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.
