Tungsten & Specialty Alloys

Tungsten-bearing and refractory scrap for industrial buyers

Tungsten carbide and the refractory alloys traded alongside it behave very differently from bulk aluminium, copper or ferrous cargo. Quantities are smaller, density is far higher, condition varies between generators, and the recovery route chosen by the buyer determines which contaminants matter. Material is therefore handled lot by lot rather than as a standing bulk grade.

Nautica Metal Scrap B.V. consolidates this material from machine shops, contract manufacturers, tool regrinders, mining and drilling contractors and industrial decommissioning projects across Europe. Each lot is received, visually checked, sorted away from non-target tooling, weighed and packed for containerised export. Nothing is declared in advance about purity, chemistry or certification: those points belong in the sales contract, supported by whatever inspection and analysis both parties agree.

Buyers new to cemented carbide can read our Tungsten Carbide Scrap Guide for the technical background on grades, hard versus soft scrap, XRF testing, valuation and packing before sending an enquiry. Written specifications and downloadable data sheets for each stream are published in our tungsten specification library.
