Tungsten Carbide (Cemented Carbide) Scrap | Group: WC-Co / WC-TiC-Co
We buy tungsten- and cobalt-based hard alloy scrap: indexable inserts, cutters, broaches, and core bits.
Cemented carbide, WC, and tungsten carbide are wear-resistant materials made of tungsten carbide matrices used in industrial applications where standard steel wears out rapidly. Hard alloys are applied for cutting, drilling, boring, milling, stamping, and processing hard materials.
Minimum : from 0.1 kg.
Analysis: Classification into groups based on visual inspection and markings.
