    Titanium

    I have been scrapping for a few tears now but today is the first time I have found titanium.Rang the scrap yard and they couldnt give me a price because they dont usually deal with it.Thought I was onto something good but a google search said it was worth less than brass.Oh well.

    Titanium comes in may different alloy grades some of which have palladium in the mix, you need to find a yard that has an XRF to properly define value.

    Also it would depend on quantity If you have 10 pounds your not gonna part the Red sea
    But if you had possession of the dumpster of an aerospace company's dumpster you'd find a proper buyer
    that would listen

    I am back to my skill set from the 80's Painting & all that follows it
    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago
    I find scrap non the less

    We drag race. Super comp, Top dragster and Nostalgia fuel altereds . Titanium is light weight and strong. Try to buy a titanium scatter shield or any other racing part and see what the value of titanium is. Sad the stuff you described has little value.
