Scrap Classification and Value Drivers
-
Cobalt Premium in Super Invar: Super Invar contains 4.00 to 6.00 percent Cobalt in addition to 31.00 to 33.00 percent Nickel, giving it a higher melt valuation than standard Invar 36.
-
Near-Zero Expansion Performance: Super Invar exhibits near-zero thermal expansion at room temperatures (roughly half that of standard Invar 36), making scrap segregation critical for high-precision optical re-melting.
-
Strict Grade Segregation: Super Invar 32-5 must be kept completely separate from Invar 36, Kovar (29Ni-17Co), Alloy 42, Alloy 48, and standard 300-series stainless steel.
-
Phase Stability Limits: Super Invar can undergo irreversible martensitic transformation if exposed to cryogenic temperatures below minus 60 degrees Celsius; scrap processors evaluate thermal history and grain purity.
-
Magnetic Response: Strongly ferromagnetic at room temperature up to its Curie point of approximately 230 degrees Celsius for Super Invar and 280 degrees Celsius for Invar 36.
-
Cleanliness Requirements: Scrap must be free of lead/tin solder, copper or silver brazing, carbon steel attachments, oils, grease, and oxide scale.
