Defense & Military Alloy Recycling
Defense metal recycling in Canada and the US requires adhering to stringent rules and guidelines. It involves many nuances, including high-performance material segregation, strict tracking, and documenting the chain of custody.
Alnor Industries has extensive experience working with defence manufacturers. We recover superalloy and titanium machining scrap from defence manufacturing at full grade value. The documented, segregated handling we offer across North America makes us one of the most trusted names in defence metal recycling.
Our goal is to provide the maximum value for any recoverable alloys generated during defense and military production across Canada and the USA.
The Problem: Alloy Value Lost and Disposal That Must Be Documented
Defense machining generates high-value materials such as Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium, and Invar. When they are sold together as mixed scrap, their individual alloy value is sometimes overlooked. This means they don't derive the price they ideally should.
Then there's the problem of documenting the disposal. Since defense is one of the most controlled industries, there are strict guidelines that defense recycling must follow to avoid penalties.
Government-property and contract terms require documented reporting and proper destruction of military components. Some components must be demilitarized to prevent them from entering the open market.
At Alnor Industries, we focus on non-controlled military alloy scrap that contains high-value materials such as Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium, and Invar. For controlled materials that demand demilitarization, we work within the customer's compliance requirements and ensure clear documentation wherever possible.
Our Solution: Documented, Grade-segregated Defense Recycling
Alnor Industries helps defense manufacturers solve their biggest problems by offering the right value and helping them adhere to compliance requirements. We offer reliable, documented, grade-segregated defense recycling, and here's how we do it.
Mixed metal scraps dilute the individual value of valuable superalloys. We keep different grades separate to offer an assay-based quote depending on the composition of each stream. The result? Defence and military alloy scraps are valued appropriately.
Clear records of material weights and assay information support traceability, reporting, and disposal records where required by the client's programme or contract.
We work closely with the customers to identify non-controlled military components that can enter the open recycling stream. When it comes to controlled components or those that must be demilitarized, we coordinate with the customers to support the applicable requirements and documentation.
What We Buy from Defense Manufacturers
We work with defence manufacturers to buy high-value materials like:
- Inconel and nickel superalloys: 625, 718, Waspaloy, Rene, and Nimonic
- Titanium: Ti-6Al-4V and commercially pure titanium
- Hastelloy and Haynes alloys
- Invar and Kovar
- Stellite and cobalt alloys
- Monel and other specialty grades
Why Defense Manufacturers Sell to Alnor
Defense manufacturers work with Alnor for the simple reason that we effectively solve their pain points. We solve the biggest problem of value dilution by offering assay-based pricing. The material segregation at source allows us to offer the right pricing for superalloys and titanium.
Compliance is another issue that most defense manufacturers deal with. We solve this by offering documented handling at every step so the manufacturer can honour the requirements in their contracts.
We offer freight-paid delivery across the USA and Canada. Our team works with you to schedule a pick-up or shipment at the earliest date of your convenience. Defense and military alloy recycling have never been this easy.
How It Works
Here's how our defense metal recycling process works.
This step helps us understand the alloy, form, and quantities your facility generates. Identifying and separating streams is the key to ensuring maximum recovery value.
01Segregating materials at source is how we prevent high-value superalloys from being mixed with low-value scrap metals.
02We work closely with you to schedule scrap collection for defense metal recycling. This makes the entire process hassle-free for you.
03Once the material arrives at our facility, we provide an assay-based quote and ensure prompt payment soon after your approval.
