Brands include Kennametal, Sandvik, Iscar, Seco, Mitsubishi, and all others. No sorting by grade required. We buy from individual sellers, machine shops, and manufacturers across the US.

Carbide Rods & Blanks

Solid tungsten carbide rods, blanks, and round stock are among the highest-value carbide scrap on the market. We purchase carbide rods in all diameters and lengths — new, used, broken, or off-spec. Carbide rod scrap from tool grinding operations, tooling manufacturers, and distributors is accepted in any condition. We pay competitive prices per pound for solid carbide round stock and preforms.

Mixed Carbide Scrap

Mixed tungsten carbide scrap — unsorted pieces, broken tooling, chips, and miscellaneous carbide material — is accepted in any quantity. You do not need to sort or separate your carbide scrap before selling. We handle mixed lots from machine shops, job shops, tool crib cleanouts, and industrial facility shutdowns. Mixed carbide scrap from across the US is welcome.

Carbide Sludge & Grinding Powder

Tungsten carbide grinding sludge, powder, and fine particles generated by tool grinding and manufacturing operations are purchased. Carbide sludge from CNC grinding centers, surface grinders, and cylindrical grinders contains significant tungsten value. We accept wet and dry carbide powder and grinding residue. Sludge must be packaged in sealed containers. Don't discard your grinding sludge — it contains real recoverable value.
