What are Monel and Inconel?

inconel scrap metal

Many people ask about some of the different alloys we have listed through our metals pages, like Monel and Inconel, and where they can find them.

High nickel alloys like Monel and Inconel, as well as stainless steel, are made to be noncorrosive, non-rusting alloys that can perform well in high-temperature environments and very clean environments like hospitals and labs.

Nickel is a very expensive alloy traded on the metals exchange and used in many applications. While Nickel in pure form is magnetic, when mixed with other alloys like chromium and iron, among many others, these alloys (like stainless steel) can become non-magnetic and prove to be very high-performing metals.

What Are Monel And Inconel’s Scrap Prices?

Due to their rare nature, it can be hard to find accurate quotes or buyers for these types of material. Monel is approximately between $2-6, and Inconel is around $1-3. See below if you’re looking for a quote for these materials today!
