Everything you need to know about selling your carbide, tungsten, and aerospace alloys to AeroCore Material Recovery.
Questions about what we purchase, how pricing works, and what your material is worth.
We purchase all forms of tungsten carbide including solid carbide end mills, drills, inserts, boring bars, reamers, wear parts, carbide-tipped saw blades, mining bits, and carbide powder or sludge. We accept material in any condition — new, used, broken, worn out, or mixed lots. If it contains tungsten carbide, we want to purchase it.
Carbide prices typically range from $6 to $12 per pound depending on the type, grade, and condition. Solid carbide end mills and clean, sorted inserts command the highest prices. Carbide tips and mixed lots fall on the lower end of the range. Prices fluctuate based on the current tungsten market, so contact us for a real-time quote on your specific material.
Yes. We actively purchase Inconel (625, 718, and other grades), titanium (Ti-6Al-4V and commercial pure), Hastelloy, Waspaloy, Monel, Kovar, and other nickel-based superalloys. We purchase turnings, chips, solids, bar stock, and finished parts in any condition. Aerospace alloys are priced based on the specific alloy grade and current market conditions.
There is no minimum quantity. We purchase everything from a single handful of end mills to full truckloads of material. Every quantity is welcome. That said, larger shipments may qualify for volume bonuses and prepaid shipping labels, so there is an incentive to accumulate material before selling.
Yes, we purchase all coated carbide inserts including TiN (gold), TiCN, TiAlN, AlTiN, and both CVD and PVD coated varieties. Coatings do not significantly affect pricing — the tungsten carbide substrate underneath is what holds the value. Used, chipped, or worn inserts are all accepted regardless of coating type or condition.
