    Super alloys that have nickel of various content, the higher the nickel content the higher the scrap value, some nickel scrap is worth like $10.00 a pound.

    Nickel is used in a lot of goods we use in everyday life. if you would like to know more here is a good place to start your research.

    I have about 1000 lbs of Monel that i removed from a heat exchanger, I've mailed out a couple of samples and will do a follow up via telephone tomorrow to find out how much nickel is in the alloy and what price per pound I'm offered.

    These high grade nickel alloys are everywhere in large and small amounts.
