How To Know If What You Have Is Carbide
From our resources page (which you’ll want to look at in more detail) here are our suggestions as to how to test and know if what you actually have is Tungsten Carbide or some other metal.
There are three different ways the make sure what you have in your hand is carbide. Carbide testing can be quick and easy if you follow the steps below
- The first step to carbide testing is to see if your carbide is heavy? It does not take a lot of carbide for the weight to add up. Carbide is much heavier then steel is. A coffee can full of carbide will weigh around 50 pounds while the same coffee can full of steel would weigh around 25 pounds.
- Carbide testing with a magnet is very easy. First quest is it magnetic? True tungsten carbide has very little attraction to a magnet. You should be able to easily pull the magnet away from the carbide. If your magnet is hard to pull away from the tool it is steel.
- How much does the material spark? If you place a piece of carbide on a grinding wheel the spark will be close together and the spark will be more orange in color.
How To Prepare Scrap Carbide For Recycling
Simply, you need to separate your Tungsten Carbide scrap from the rest of your scrap metal. Keep a specific bin, bucket, or other container readily available in your shop to place all carbide into. When you are filing or sharpening carbide tools, there are carbide filings that settle on your table, sweep those off into the container (or a separate container on your personal table area) to be added to the bin containing the other carbide scraps at the end of the day.
Paying attention to where you store your scrap carbide is paramount in obtaining the best scrap carbide pricing from your carbide scrap recycler. Scrap Carbide recycling is based on weight of pure carbide. This is why your containers need to be kept separate without any non-carbide pieces. Carbide scrap demands a much higher price per pound than does any other metal material you may be recycling.
