THE INTERNATIONAL METALS RECLAIMATION COMPANY
Nickel Pigs & Hogs
INMETCO nickel alloy products allow for the users to gain the useful elements needed for their end products. The stainless grade of 304 is the most common home for our nickel alloy products.
Some of the most common end uses of the 304 stainless grades are:
- Appliances
- Fasteners
- Piping
This product can be provided in the form of a pig (4” x 2” x 12”) or in the form of a hog (24” x 24” x 36”) depending on the end user’s capabilities for handling. The typical chemical composition of a nickel alloy product is Ni 10%, Cr 14.5%, and Mo 1.1%, a full range of the composition can be provided upon request.

High Moly Pigs
INMETCO Moly products allow for the users to gain these useful elements for their end use products. The stainless grade of 316 is the most common home for austenitic chromium-nickel stainless where the molybdenum is needed, this is used to provide strength at high temperatures as well as increase corrosion resistance.
Some of the most common uses for this grade are:
- Chemical processing
- Storage equipment
- Refinery equipment
- Marine environments
This product can be provided in the form of a pig (4” x 2” x 12”) or in the form of a hog (24” x 24” x 36”) depending on the end user’s capabilities for handling. The typical chemical composition of a high molybdenum product is Ni 10%, Cr 14.5%, and Mo 2.0%, a full range of the composition can be provided upon request.

Custom Metal Mixes
In need of a specific metal composition for your end products? INMETCO is happy to customize our products to meet your needs. Pig and hog chemistries can be customized for Ni, Cr and Mo content.
Battery Recycling
INMETCO recycles the following types of batteries:
- Alkaline
- Wet NiCd
- Dry NiCd
- NiMH EV
- NiMH Consumers
- Lead Acid
- NiMNaCl
- Li Ion small package
Battery Shredding
To make our product, a few battery types are not fit for recycling within our facility. Our chemistry is specific, and our customers can trust that we are sending the exact product they need. However, we are able to shred any type of battery and send them back to your facility or another for reuse.
Tolling of Aqueous Li Ion shredding – De-energized Li Ion batteries up to 18” x 6” x 12 “ shredded and returned to tolling customer.
Tolling
Toll manufacturing, simply put, is the arrangement where one company processes materials for another. This service allows the customer to bring in their mill by-products (dust, swarf, mill scale, etc.) and INMETCO turns it into finished goods. The material that is brought into INMETCO will be analyzed for contents and a calculation is done that will determine the “pigs due” or finished goods that can be created from the off products listed above. There is an agreement between the customer and the company before finalizing these services.
Hazardous Waste Recycling
Our facility has the capacity to recycle any solid, semi solid or liquid having a content of more than 1% Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), Molybdenum (Mo) and Iron (Fe).
Depending upon the chemical composition of the waste, Inmetco may purchase the material or charge an environmental service fee.
Our general requirements for accepting are:
- Our ability to recycle the waste
- Can the waste legitimately be recycled
However, if you are unsure about your material and if it can be accepted, please reach out to us to speak with an Inmetco representative.
