Carbide Scraps

Carbide is a complex compound of both carbon and metal and has a wide range of versatility. One of its more prevalent properties is its extreme hardness. Because of this hardness, it can withstand a lot of pressure but retain its shape. Carbide-tipped tools can be used to cut even diamonds!

A few other carbides’ unique properties are high resistance to corrosion, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and high modulus of elasticity. K.M Scrap Metals can buy and sell carbide scrap in any form you have, from drill bits to anvils. Carbide is always in high demand and thus turns out great selling prices due to the scarcity of scrap for it.

There are a ton of different things that carbide can turn into once it’s been recycled. Such as surgical tools which can save lives. Thanks to carbide’s hardness, it can be sharpened beyond what steel or titanium can handle.

Carbide can also be found in jewelry, such as engagement rings, necklaces, and earrings. Jewelers like working with carbide because of its hardness and the ability to mold and shape it to their liking. There are many other uses for carbide that can be found in everyday items. Its ability to mold and mend with other alloys and still retain its hardness makes it very appealing.
