Bedford, Ohio — Cuyahoga County

Nickel Alloy Processing in Bedford, OH

Victor Metals Inc., operating as V-V Metals, has bought industrial scrap out of Northeast Ohio since 1986. We serve the Broadway Avenue and Rockside Road heat-treat and stamping corridor and about twenty-five minutes south using I-271 and Route 14.

Nickel Alloys

What does nickel alloy processing in Bedford involve?

V-V Metals identifies, segregates and settles nickel-bearing scrap and superalloys, including Inconel, Monel, Hastelloy, Waspaloy, Rene and commercially pure nickel, in solid, turning, grinding and powder form.

Bedford and Bedford Heights carry stamping, heat-treating and forging operations, which means scale, skimmings and quench-line residue alongside conventional punchings and drops. That is the practical reason we grade tightly instead of buying by the container.

Nickel alloys are the single easiest material to lose money on, because an unidentified superalloy sold as stainless can give up most of its value in one transaction. We identify before we quote.

Accepted Material

What nickel alloys do you buy in Bedford?

We buy solids, turnings, grindings, powder and spatter generated across the Broadway Avenue and Rockside Road heat-treat and stamping corridor, in quantities from a single drum up to steady roll-off volume.

  • Inconel 600, 625, 718 and related nickel-chrome grades
  • Monel, Hastelloy and corrosion-resistant nickel alloys
  • Waspaloy, Rene and other high-temperature superalloys
  • Commercially pure nickel plate, strip and cathode drops
  • Nickel alloy turnings, chips and grinding swarf
  • Nickel-bearing powder, spatter and process residue

How It Works

What you get on a Bedford account

Every unmarked nickel-bearing lot is analysed and assigned a specific alloy family before pricing. Lot identity is tracked from receipt through shipment so a high-temperature alloy is never settled at a commodity stainless price.

  • Alloy identification and analysis on every unmarked nickel-bearing lot
  • Lot-level traceability from your dock through to the consuming melt shop
  • Segregated handling so superalloys never blend into stainless streams
  • Secure handling and reconciliation for high-value low-tonnage shipments
  • Direct placement with nickel alloy remelters and superalloy producers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you pick up nickel alloys scrap in Bedford, Ohio?

Yes. Bedford is about twenty-five minutes south using I-271 and Route 14, and we place containers on site and run scheduled or on-call pickups for nickel alloys generators across the Broadway Avenue and Rockside Road heat-treat and stamping corridor. Smaller lots can also be delivered to our certified scale at 741 East 166th Street, Cleveland, OH 44110.

What forms of nickel alloys do you accept from Bedford plants?

How is my nickel alloys load priced?

Every unmarked nickel-bearing lot is analysed and assigned a specific alloy family before pricing. Lot identity is tracked from receipt through shipment so a high-temperature alloy is never settled at a commodity stainless price. Nickel alloys are the single easiest material to lose money on, because an unidentified superalloy sold as stainless can give up most of its value in one transaction. We identify before we quote.

Why sell nickel alloys scrap to V-V Metals instead of a local Bedford yard?

Unlike many scrap companies, V-V Metals does not sell purchased material to other scrap dealer houses. Everything we buy goes directly to mills, foundries or smelters, so there is one margin between your dock and the end user instead of two or three. Material from Bedford ships straight to nickel alloy remelters and superalloy producers, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on nickel alloys.
