From individual end mills to full plant liquidations — AeroCore purchases carbide tooling, tungsten, aerospace alloys, tool steel, and manufacturing overstock in any condition and any quantity.
We purchase rejected, reclaimed, and end-of-life precision components from aerospace manufacturing, MRO facilities, and defense contractors.
Gas turbine blades, nozzle guide vanes, shrouds, and other hot-section components typically manufactured from Inconel 718, Rene 80, Rene 95, CMSX single-crystal alloys, and directionally solidified alloys. Recovery value is driven by the base alloy composition.
By Alloy GradeAerospace-grade bolts, nuts, rivets, brackets, fittings, and structural components in titanium, Inconel, A286, Waspaloy, and other spec-grade alloys. Rejected parts, overruns, and obsolete inventory all accepted.
By Alloy GradeCombustion liners, casings, discs, seals, heat shields, and other engine components. MRO teardown materials from CFM56, GE90, PW4000, V2500, and other commercial and military engines. Material value based on alloy content and form.
Premium PricingWe understand the compliance requirements surrounding aerospace end-of-life materials. All material is purchased for its material recovery value only — not for reuse in aerospace applications. We can provide certificates of destruction or mutilation documentation upon request. Parts do not need to be in serviceable condition; rejected, damaged, corroded, or decommissioned components are ideal. If you have material certs, mill test reports, or alloy identification documentation, please include it with your quote request as it helps us provide the most accurate pricing.
We purchase nickel-based superalloys, titanium alloys, and cobalt alloys used in aerospace, defense, power generation, chemical processing, and oil & gas applications.
Inconel 625 and Inconel 718 in all forms: turnings, solids, bar stock, plate, sheet, forgings, and machined components. Also Inconel 600, 601, 617, 725, and X-750.
Premium PricingTi-6Al-4V (Grade 5) is our most purchased titanium alloy. We also purchase commercially pure titanium (Grades 1-4), Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn, and all other aerospace titanium grades. Turnings, solids, plate, bar, and components.
Premium PricingHastelloy C-276, Hastelloy X, Hastelloy C-22, Hastelloy B-2, and Waspaloy. Turnings, solids, machined parts, and fabricated components. Widely used in chemical processing and high-temperature environments.
By Alloy GradeMonel 400, Monel K-500, Rene 41, Rene 80, Rene 95, MP35N, Stellite, and other specialty cobalt and nickel alloys. These high-value materials command premium pricing based on alloy chemistry and form.
Premium PricingWe purchase high-performance alloys in every form: turnings and chips (dry or with coolant), solid drops and cutoffs, bar stock, plate and sheet, forgings, castings, machined components, welding wire and rod, and powder. Material should ideally be separated by alloy grade for best pricing. Mixed alloy lots are accepted but may be priced at the lowest grade present.
We purchase all forms of tungsten carbide cutting tools and wear components — used, broken, chipped, or overstock. Any quantity from a handful of inserts to pallets of end mills.
Ball nose, flat end, roughing, finishing, and specialty end mills in all diameters. Used, broken shanks, chipped flutes, or new overstock — we purchase it all.
$10 - $12/lbTurning inserts, milling inserts, grooving inserts, threading inserts — CNMG, WNMG, DNMG, CCMT, APKT, and all other ISO styles. Coated or uncoated, used or new.
$8 - $11/lbSolid carbide drills, indexable drills, gun drills, reamers, and counterbores. All lengths, all diameters, any condition including broken and resharpened.
$10 - $12/lbSolid carbide boring bars, carbide-tipped bars, bushings, wear plates, seal rings, nozzles, and custom wear components from any industry.
$6 - $12/lbWe purchase carbide tooling from every manufacturer on the market. There is no brand restriction. Common brands include Sandvik Coromant, Kennametal, ISCAR, Mitsubishi Materials, Seco Tools, Walter, Widia, Tungaloy, Sumitomo, Kyocera, Ingersoll, Ceratizit, Dormer Pramet, YG-1, OSG, Guhring, Emuge, Niagara Cutter, Garr Tool, Destiny Tool, and all others.
We purchase carbide in any condition: used, broken, chipped, resharpened, coated, uncoated, mixed lots, and new overstock. If it contains tungsten carbide, we want it. Sorting is not required, although sorted and separated lots may receive higher pricing. We also accept carbide that has been brazed onto steel shanks — pricing is adjusted based on the carbide-to-steel ratio.
Tungsten is one of the densest and hardest metals in commercial use. We purchase all forms of tungsten and tungsten-based materials at competitive market prices.
Solid tungsten carbide blanks, rods, rounds, preforms, die inserts, punches, and custom shapes. These are distinct from carbide tooling in that they are raw or semi-finished forms, often with higher carbide content and correspondingly higher value.
$8 - $15/lbReclaimed tungsten carbide powder, tungsten metal powder, crushed carbide, and grinding sludge (dry preferred). Powder lots are priced based on purity, mesh size, and contamination level. Lab analysis available for high-value lots.
By Purity/GradePure tungsten rods, plates, electrodes, crucibles, and radiation shielding. Tungsten heavy alloy (W-Ni-Fe, W-Ni-Cu) counterweights, balancing weights, and kinetic energy penetrators. Tungsten copper (W-Cu) EDM electrodes and heat sinks.
$8 - $15/lbTungsten carbide is exceptionally dense and heavy for its size. A solid carbide end mill will feel noticeably heavier than a similar-sized steel tool. The material is typically dark gray to silver in color, extremely hard (will scratch glass and most metals), and non-magnetic or only weakly magnetic. If you are unsure whether your material is carbide, send us photos and we will help identify it.
We purchase tool steels and high-speed steels commonly used in cutting tools, dies, molds, punches, and industrial wear applications.
M2 HSS is the most common general-purpose high-speed steel, widely used in drill bits, taps, and saw blades. M42 cobalt HSS (8% cobalt) provides superior hot hardness for demanding cutting operations. We purchase both grades in all forms.
Market RateCobalt-alloyed high-speed steels including M35 (5% Co), M42 (8% Co), and premium powder metallurgy grades like CPM Rex 45, CPM Rex 76, ASP 2030, and ASP 2060. Cobalt content significantly increases recovery value.
Cobalt PremiumD2 tool steel (high-carbon, high-chromium cold work), A2 tool steel (air-hardening), S7 shock-resistant steel, H13 hot work steel, and O1/O2 oil-hardening steels. Drops, cutoffs, used dies, punches, mold components, and hardened blocks.
Market RateHigh-speed steel and tool steel are valued lower per pound than tungsten carbide because they contain less tungsten and cobalt. However, large quantities of HSS — especially cobalt grades — can still represent significant value. If you have bins or drums of mixed HSS and carbide tooling, we will sort and price each material type separately so you receive the best possible return. Contact us for current HSS and tool steel pricing based on your specific grades and quantities.
Closing a shop? Clearing a warehouse? We purchase unused, obsolete, and excess inventory from end-of-run production, plant closures, and facility liquidations — from a single shelf to an entire facility.
New-in-box carbide inserts, end mills, drills, and other cutting tools that exceed your needs. Discontinued catalog numbers, obsolete geometries, or simply excess inventory. We pay premium pricing for new, unused tooling.
Premium PricingComplete machine shop cleanouts, plant closures, and facility liquidations. We will evaluate and purchase all qualifying metals, tooling, and alloys from your facility. We handle the logistics — sorting, weighing, removal, and transportation — so you don't have to.
Volume BonusesOverstock raw material, abandoned inventory, outdated alloy stock, and miscellaneous metal accumulation. If you have a warehouse full of material that needs to go, we will provide a comprehensive bid for the entire lot. One transaction, one payment, one cleanout.
Bulk PricingManufacturing overstock and liquidation lots are priced based on the material type, alloy grade, form, condition, and quantity. New, unused tooling in original packaging commands the highest pricing. Mixed lots are sorted and priced by category. For large liquidations, we can arrange an on-site evaluation where we inventory, sort, and provide pricing for all qualifying materials in your facility. Volume bonuses apply for large quantities — the more you sell, the more you earn per pound.
Send us photos and an estimated weight for a fast, no-obligation quote. We purchase all quantities — from a handful of inserts to full truckloads.
