Hard scrap · cemented carbide

Purchasing WC-Co carbide hard scrap

Dies, punches, drawing dies, sleeves, rings, segments, wear parts, blanks and other atypical cemented-carbide pieces. In short: carbide that is neither a standard indexable insert nor a solid carbide drill or end mill.

Carbide hard scrap

A broad group of industrial WC-Co parts

This category covers solid sintered carbide parts in which carbide is the main material. In practice it includes a very broad range of geometrically different components used for forming, pressing, drawing, guiding, sealing, wear resistance and other demanding industrial applications.

We accept clean pieces as well as mixed stocks of different sizes. Material may be worn, cracked, coated, broken or size-reduced. Parts connected to steel or another carrier are classified as combined material and handled according to their construction.

You do not need to know the exact name of the part.

If it is cemented carbide or you suspect WC-Co, we can classify the material by type, construction and composition.

What belongs in this group

Dies, punches, wear parts and atypical blanks

We use a separate category for all sintered carbide pieces that do not fall under standard carbide inserts or solid rotary tools.

  • carbide dies and pressing inserts
  • punches and forming working parts
  • drawing dies, draw dies and separate carbide cores
  • sleeves, guide inserts and precision structural parts
  • rings, seats, sealing and sliding elements
  • wear parts and wear-resistant parts
  • segments, plates, prisms and blocks
  • rods, blanks, semi-finished parts and production rejects
  • nozzles, inserts and other highly stressed components
  • anvils, support and pressure carbide parts
  • broken and size-reduced pieces
  • mixed stocks of carbide

Why this group is so diverse

Carbide is more than a cutting tool

Because of its combination of high hardness, compressive strength and wear resistance, WC-Co is also used in pressing, drawing and forming tools, wear-resistant components and other highly stressed working parts. Carbide hard scrap can therefore range from a small punch to a massive ring, block or structural insert.

For purchasing, it is not important whether the piece is still usable as a tool. What matters is the material, quantity, any steel, braze or other carrier present, and the overall nature of the stock.

FAQ

FAQ about WC-Co hard scrap

What belongs to WC-Co carbide hard scrap?

Dies, punches, drawing dies, sleeves, rings, segments, blanks, wear parts and other solid sintered carbide components that are neither standard indexable inserts nor solid carbide drills.

Do you also purchase cracked, worn or broken pieces?

Yes. Tool functionality is not decisive for purchasing. We handle worn, damaged and size-reduced pieces.

Do I need to sort the individual shapes in advance?

No. Mixtures of different geometries and sizes can be assessed together. For larger or unusual stocks, please provide the approximate quantity and material origin.
