Finding Scrap Tungsten

When tungsten is alloyed with carbide, an extremely strong and wear resistant compound – tungsten carbide – is created. This compound has the highest boiling point of all metals, is three times stiffer than steel, and is very dense, making it particularly useful for industrial machinery.

Tungsten carbide can be found is cutting tools for machining and armor-piercing ammunition. It is also typically used in end mills, inserts, and drill bits. Due to its hardness, tungsten carbide has become popular with jewelry makers.
