Tungsten carbide (WC) is a chemical compound of tungsten and carbon. When combined with a metallic binder (usually cobalt), it forms cemented carbide — one of the hardest and most wear-resistant materials used in industrial cutting tools, mining equipment, and wear parts.

Carbide scrap is extremely valuable because tungsten is a rare, strategic metal. Recycling carbide is both economically and environmentally important. We pay the highest prices in the market for all forms of carbide scrap.

Where Does Carbide Scrap Come From?

Machine shops generate carbide scrap from worn indexable inserts, broken end mills, and drill bits. Manufacturing facilities accumulate carbide from worn wear parts, mining equipment, and tooling. We buy from machine shops, tool cribs, industrial facilities, and tool distributors.
