Revert solutions for the aviation and engine supply chain

Aerospace

Aerospace components are built from the most tightly specified alloys in industry, and their value survives the end of service life. We provide recycling and revert solutions to the aviation and support industry, led by a team of aviation recycling specialists, with services built around each customer's material and security requirements.

Capabilities

What we do for aerospace.

  • 01

    Engine teardown

    End-of-life engines are dismantled and separated into their constituent alloy groups so that high-value superalloy content is recovered rather than lost to mixed scrap.

  • 02

    Onsite destruction

    Life-limited parts and rotating components are destroyed on site, giving a verifiable end to the part's service life before the material enters the recycling stream.

  • 03

    Sorting and grading

    All superalloys are sorted and graded so that reverts return to the melt shop as a known, certified specification rather than an unidentified blend.

  • 04

    Precious metal recovery

    Gold, platinum and rhenium are recovered from coatings and components alongside the base alloy content.

Talk to us about aerospace material.

Supply, recovery or both — tell us the specification and the volume and we will come back with a route for it.
