Overview
Tungsten and tungsten carbide grades characterised by very high hardness and density, used in cutting tools, wear parts and heavy metal applications.
IMS handles tungsten alloys as both prime material and as arisings recovered from industrial processing. Material is sorted and segregated by grade, so it returns to the melt as a known specification rather than a mixed stream.
