We buy scrap tungsten carbide mining bits, drill buttons, rock bits, and down-the-hole hammers. Current prices $15-$30/lb. Free pickup on bulk mining scrap.
Tungsten carbide is essential in mining and rock drilling operations. Mining bits use large carbide buttons or inserts brazed into steel bodies to cut through rock, coal, and ore. These bits wear out regularly and represent a significant source of high-value tungsten carbide scrap. We buy all types including rotary bits, DTH (down-the-hole) bits, raise bore cutters, and continuous miner picks.
