Make Money off of Carbide Scrap

Posted on March 31, 2013

Sell scrap carbide

Carbide is a material scientist’s word for a compound of carbon with something more electro negative.Metal carbides are characterized by their extreme hardness and resistance to high temperatures, and are used as abrasives, and in cutting, drilling, grinding, and polishing tools. See also hard metal.

If you are a tool and grinding shop producing carbide scrap, do not get rid of it! Did you know that you can sell carbide scrap? There are many services to aid you in the removal of your tungsten carbide scrap, high speed steel and other scrap metals, and to help you sell carbide scrap.

When you ship your scrap to scrap carbide buyers, it usually brings some of the coolant to the top. That excess top oil is typically removed before sampling. Core samples are taken to a lab for analysis, and the heavier, more valuable material will have settled to the bottom. An analysis is returned with the break down of the drum contents, typically a percentage of cobalt, tungsten and moisture, and then is appraised to help you sell carbide scrap, or recycle it!

Aluminum and steel are the most recycled metals in the United States. Aluminum can be reprocessed indefinitely without changing its chemical make up. When making steel from iron ore large quantities of coal, water, energy and resulting air emissions are created. By reusing the steel or deciding to sell carbide you can reduce the environmentally toxic emissions and it is easier to create steel from recycled materials because the impurities are already removed.

Carbide scrap prices vary depending on the breakdown of the drum contents. Grinding sludge seems to be worth about $800 a barrel! Carbide scrap prices depend on how dry it is, as well as the tungsten content.

If you should decide to sell scrap carbide, there are several great companies who will pick up barrels to make the process easier. Instead of wasting your scrap, work with one of these companies to receive carbide scrap prices and payment for your scraps.
