    What is it?

    35 percent nickel
    20 percent cobalt
    4 percent titanium
    4 percent moly
    balance crome and iron I can't remember how much of each I think 18 percent crome and balance iron

    All I know is its takes about 7 mins to cut through them with the jet torch and a three foot torch would be a joke if you attempted to cut them with it. We cut off about 3400 lbs of them off turbine covers. Cut the steel off of them. I hope this picture shows up if not I will post a link to them.

    Well that didn't work uploading it from my computer they seriously need to figure out a way to make this easier but here is the link.

    Pitstone,

    I am going to have to make a day and come down and check out you cut up operation. Would love to get a look at some of the stuff you cut up.

    No guess here but you might find that Photobucket is easier to use.

    Open up a Photobucket account, upload from your computer to Photobucket, then from there to here. Pictures end up being a little bigger also.

    Reading the list of metals sounds like a "super alloys" and that can be worth a very pretty penny...I can ask someone I know down here who know a lot of the super alloys

    Here is what they have come off of. Sorry I took the pictures with my phone and uploading anything from sprint is a pain. The bolts are on the bottom of the piece. We also cut up marios world which is in the background. I think Luigi is pretty mad about it and I didn't spot bowser at all.

    I got pissed trying to get pics off my Verizon phone(regular not a smart one) so I started emailing them via text message and it was easier to deal with.

    Escrap better make it quick most of the stuff we cut is shipped out almost as soon as we cut it. The best days to visit is the 28 of every month through the 3rd of the next month in between orders. We are also running out of scrap by the end of next month its going to be doughnuts for the unprepared torch material pile unless we get more but its a scrap yard one day its bare bones the next day they dump 20 loads on you. We just cut up the beams from the JB bridge east lane I think which I am sure you have traveled over a 1,000 times seeing how you are from belleville and tthat is the closet bridge to get into STL. You wouldn't want to know how rotted through they were we could stick our arms through the uprights on most of the beams. Americas bridges are falling apart faster then we can replace them. I guess the west lane is coming in a few months.
