Why CNC Machine Shops Should Separate Their Carbide Scrap
Tungsten carbide is one of the most valuable scrap metals generated in a machine shop — worth significantly more per pound than steel, aluminum, or general metal scrap. Yet many shops unknowingly mix carbide tooling in with their steel chips and general scrap, losing most of its recycling value in the process.
General scrap yards in Charlotte, NC and across the Carolinas typically don't specialize in carbide recycling. They can't accurately price tungsten carbide because they don't track the tungsten commodity market or understand the difference between carbide grades. Carbide Kings specializes exclusively in tungsten carbide scrap buying — which means we pay prices that reflect what your material is actually worth.
