What Is HSS Scrap?
HSS (High Speed Steel) scrap comes from used, broken, or rejected cutting tools made from alloy steel containing tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, and sometimes cobalt.
HSS is widely used in:
Drills
End mills
Taps
Lathe tools
Milling cutters
Because of its valuable alloy content, HSS scrap has a higher value than normal steel scrap.

How HSS Scrap Price Is Calculated
HSS scrap price is not fixed. It depends on the following factors:
Cobalt percentage (higher cobalt = higher price)
Grade (M42 > M35 > M2)
Condition (solid tools fetch better rates than powder or mixed scrap)
Rust, oil, or contamination
Quantity (bulk sellers get better pricing)
Location & logistics cost
Unbroken and lightly used hss tools get high price than scrap (for reusable purposes)
Clean, sorted HSS scrap always gets a better rate.
How to Identify HSS Scrap
Use these simple methods to identify HSS scrap:
Markings: Look for M2, M35, M42 engraved on tools
Spark test: Short, bright sparks compared to mild steel
Magnet test: HSS is magnetic (carbide is not)
Tool appearance: HSS tools look like steel, not grey carbide
⚠️ Do not confuse HSS scrap with carbide scrap—both have very different prices.
