    Metal Shavings

    Does anyone know of a buyer for Zirconium or Titanium shavings? I have a friend who makes knife beads from those two metals and does not want to toss the shavings. Any market for them scrap wise?

    If I remember right, you're in the Springfield area. Call Freadman. They have an XRF gun and should buy.

    Thanks. He probably doesn't get a large amount from making knife beads, a couple of pound at best. But he can get the specs on it from his purchase receipt. Probably would be a once or twice a year mailing.

    Thanks. Yes Springfield MA area. I'll have him try Freedman's.
