Molybdenum Scrap Price Guide — 2026

Molybdenum is one of the most valuable refractory metals on the scrap market. Its high melting point, density, and strategic importance in steel and superalloy production make it a consistently high-value scrap material. Here's a complete pricing guide for 2026.

Why Molybdenum Scrap Is So Valuable

Strategic metal: Molybdenum is a critical strategic material with limited primary production. The US has no active moly mines, making recycled scrap essential to domestic supply.

Steel alloying: Over 80% of molybdenum production goes into steel as an alloying element, providing strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance. Steel mills pay premium prices for clean moly scrap.

Superalloy content: Molybdenum is a key alloying element in Inconel, Hastelloy, and other nickel superalloys, creating strong demand from specialty alloy producers.
