America's Trusted Tungsten Carbide Buyers

Tungsten carbide is one of the most valuable scrap metals in the world, but for too long the people who generate it — machinists, tool shops, CNC machine shops, manufacturers in Charlotte NC and across America — have been underserved by generalist scrap yards that don't understand carbide recycling or its true market value.

Carbide Kings was founded to change that. We specialize exclusively in tungsten carbide scrap buying and carbide recycling, which means we know the market, we pay fair prices, and we've built a process that makes selling your carbide inserts, rods, endmills, dies, and mixed scrap as easy as possible — from first contact to payment in your account.

Most scrap yards in Charlotte NC, Raleigh, Greensboro, Columbia SC, and across the Southeast treat carbide like any other metal — they don't track the tungsten commodity market, they don't understand the difference between carbide grades, and they can't offer prices that reflect the true value of your carbide inserts, rods, endmills, or dies.

As a specialist tungsten carbide buyer, we do things differently. We track tungsten prices daily, we know what different forms of carbide scrap are worth per pound, and we've built our entire operation around buying carbide efficiently and paying sellers fairly — whether you're a one-time seller or a commercial machine shop shipping monthly.
