What Affects Inconel Scrap Prices?

Understanding the factors that drive Inconel scrap values.

LME Nickel Price

Inconel is 50–70% nickel. The LME nickel price is the primary driver of all Inconel scrap values. When nickel rises, Inconel scrap prices follow.

Grade & Segregation

Identified, segregated material commands a 20–40% premium over mixed lots. Keeping grades separate is the single best way to increase your return.

Form Factor

Solid bar and plate are worth more than turnings. Clean turnings are worth more than oily or contaminated material.

Quantity

Larger lots attract better per-pound pricing. A 10,000 lb lot will price better than 100 lbs of the same material.

Documentation

Mill certs and heat numbers can transform scrap into surplus, worth 3–10x more than scrap value.

Market Demand

Aerospace and gas turbine rebuild cycles create seasonal demand spikes for specific grades like 718 and 625.

Frequently Asked Questions About Inconel Prices

How often do Inconel scrap prices change?

Inconel scrap prices can change daily based on LME nickel movements. For large lots, we recommend calling for a firm price that we can hold for 24–48 hours while you make a decision.

What is the highest price ever paid for Inconel 718 scrap?

During the 2022 nickel price spike, Inconel 718 scrap briefly traded above $18/lb for clean, segregated material. Current prices are more moderate but still historically strong.

Is Inconel scrap worth more than stainless steel scrap?

Yes — significantly more. Stainless 316L scrap typically prices at $0.50–$1.50/lb, while Inconel scrap ranges from $6.50 to $13.50/lb. This is why correctly identifying your material is so important.
