Caledonian Alloys is the world leader in the management of nickel and cobalt base superalloy and titanium alloy recycling for the aerospace, land-based turbine, and chemical industries. The company transforms revert, through rigourous process, into material which can be re-melted, to produce new nickel, cobalt, or titanium alloys. Revert consists of excess alloy material which can arise from high performance component manufacturing, from decommissioned parts, and from the melting process.

Caledonian Alloys provides customers with a range of tailored revert management services designed to enable them to optimize the use and value of their own revert material. Accredited with all major vacuum and high temperature melters worldwide, Caledonian Alloys supplies fully processed nickel and titanium revert material to the melting industry. We also purchase revert material from a wide range of industrial customers throughout the world.
