Afterburners from jet engine?

Anyone ever recycled these? I got a call this morning from a guy who had 3, wanted me to come get them and give him a little $. I was hesitatent because I had never heard about them and wound up missing out on the whole deal I found a buyer who was gonna pay me $600 (after he sold them), he sold them for $400 to a neighbor..sorry long story, any ways, what did I miss out on? A ton of money? He had 3 at an estimated 600lbs total of titanium alloy.. Just let me know, trying to become wiser as I get older

I'm sure an expert will weigh in...but I just looked at this site with metal prices, and it says under "rare metals" titanium is at $1.00/lb - so going by that, it was roughly $600 worth? (give or take).

Ti is selling on average for $1.40 per pound. Its likely those parts you mentioned were not titanium... they could have been inconel which sells at $4 to $6 per pound. Next time you have something shoot me an email tim@aircraftdemolition.com

Seems the difference would be that you didn't join, then spam the board in 5 minutes.

Post deleted as it was essentially advertising.

Thank you Mick,,,

With that logic the whole putting a ".com" after your name is advertising aswell

I don't know. I think if it was true he would have been a little more creative.

I know he made people mad but you have to admit, he's a smart guy. He probably has a giant snow blower powered by a jet engine he built himself.

hi, respectived Patriot76 , i will not list any posts to buy or sell any more. any way it seems very few metal recycling companies speicalized it scrap jet engine.

how to dismantle a cooroded jet engine? i think oxyacetylene cutter is the suitable tool,and of course i will sandbalster the rusts off ,make it shainely agian.
