How Carbide Insert Prices Are Determined

Carbide insert prices are based on the current tungsten commodity market, the grade and cobalt content of the insert, and the quantity you're selling. Solid carbide inserts with higher tungsten content command higher prices per pound. We track tungsten market prices daily and adjust our offers accordingly.

Most local scrap yards don't specialize in carbide and price inserts as generic metal scrap — far below their actual tungsten value. Carbide Kings focuses exclusively on tungsten carbide, which means we consistently pay more per pound for your inserts.

  • Market-based tungsten pricing updated daily
  • Higher prices for higher-grade inserts
  • Volume pricing for commercial quantities
  • No deductions for mixed grades or geometries
