We buy scrap tungsten carbide valve seats, valve balls, valve trim, and flow control components. Oil & gas industry carbide. $20-$40/lb.
Tungsten carbide valve seats and trim are used extensively in the oil and gas industry for flow control in high-pressure, abrasive environments. These components are made from premium-grade tungsten carbide (often 94% WC with 6% cobalt) and can weigh from a few ounces to several pounds each. When valves are rebuilt or decommissioned, the carbide components are highly valuable scrap.
