Talmud for Kelim 11:1

כְּלֵי מַתָּכוֹת, פְּשׁוּטֵיהֶן וּמְקַבְּלֵיהֶן טְמֵאִין. נִשְׁבְּרוּ, טָהָרוּ. חָזַר וְעָשָׂה מֵהֶן כְּלִי, חָזְרוּ לְטֻמְאָתָן הַיְשָׁנָה. רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, לֹא לְכָל טֻמְאָה, אֶלָּא לְטֻמְאַת הַנָּפֶשׁ:

Metal vessels, whether they are simple or form a receptacle, are susceptible to impurity. If they break, they become clean. If they were re-made into vessels, they revert to their former impurity. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: this does not apply to every form of impurity but only to that contracted from a corpse.
