Carbide Scrap

Scrappers are paying a great deal of attention to tungsten carbide scrap these days. The reason they are doing this is because this powerful metal has such a variety of uses, throughout many industries.

Most people recognize that manufacturers use tungsten carbide in tools like saws, cutting tools, drills, and in tool parts like drill bits, end mills and things like that. This is because tungsten carbide is one of the strongest metals.

It's stronger than titanium and unique in that it resists both scratching and rust. Rust and water damage can both ruin a good tool and this resistance to both makes carbide tools much more useful in outdoor work. The other common use for carbide scrap is in factory machinery and equipment composition.
