Sell scrap tungsten carbide welding electrodes and hardfacing materials. We buy unused rods, stubs, and crushed carbide for hardfacing. $15-$35/lb.
Tungsten carbide is used in hardfacing welding to apply wear-resistant coatings to industrial equipment. Carbide welding electrodes contain crushed tungsten carbide particles in a steel tube or matrix. Unused electrodes, leftover stubs, and excess crushed carbide grit are all valuable scrap. We also buy carbide-hardfaced components that have reached end of life.
