Nickel Alloy Processing in Cleveland, OH

Victor Metals Inc., operating as V-V Metals, has bought industrial scrap out of Northeast Ohio since 1986. We serve the Collinwood rail corridor and the East 152nd / St. Clair industrial belt and our scale sits on East 166th Street, so most Cleveland plants are a ten minute run from the dock.

Nickel Alloys

What does nickel alloy processing in Cleveland 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.

Cleveland still carries a dense mix of foundries, forge shops, wire mills and contract machining under one postal code, which means a single plant often generates copper, aluminium, stainless and residue streams in the same week. 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 Cleveland?

We buy solids, turnings, grindings, powder and spatter generated across the Collinwood rail corridor and the East 152nd / St. Clair industrial belt, 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 Cleveland 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

Why sell nickel alloys scrap to V-V Metals instead of a local Cleveland 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 Cleveland ships straight to nickel alloy remelters and superalloy producers, which is what lets us hold a competitive number on nickel alloys.
