That drum of scrap is inventory.

We buy tungsten, tungsten heavy alloy and tungsten carbide in quantity, then melt it down and use it ourselves in Laramie. A broker would just flip your material to someone who does. Before we quote anything, we test and weigh your actual lot. A price off a website is a guess.

0°C Tungsten's melting point. Most people who say they buy tungsten back cannot actually melt it, so there is nothing they can do with it.

We assay a sample before quoting anything, so the number you get is against your actual material rather than a market average.

The drum you can’t tip is worth more than you think

Tungsten is nearly twice as heavy as lead and sits within a hair of gold. The drum you cannot tip holds more mass, and more money, than anything else on your floor.

It is also why nobody throws it out twice. Once a shop finds out what the barrel in the corner is actually worth, it stops being waste and becomes stock.

Density, grams per cubic centimeter

We consume it.
Brokers resell it.

Almost every buyer in this category is a middleman. They take a spread and move your material along to somebody who actually needs the tungsten.

Tungsten Parts Wyoming is that somebody. We melt what we buy and turn it into product on our own floor in Laramie. That is why we can bid past what a trader can pay.

Origin does not reset
in a recycler

DFARS 252.225-7052 restricts tungsten from four covered countries. Through the end of 2026 the test is whether it was melted or produced there. From January 1, 2027 it widens to mined, refined, separated, melted, or produced.

The clause explicitly reaches recycled material, so passing through a recycling stream does not give tungsten a new country of origin.

If you supply defense programs, that turns your scrap pile from a disposal question into a documentation question, on a fixed date. We can hand back a record of where your material went, because we are the ones who received it.

Three steps, no haggling

You get the number before anything leaves your building, the opposite of how this usually goes.

Step 01

Tell us what you have

Material, rough quantity, how often it accumulates. No sorting and no grading on your end.

Step 02

We assay a sample

You ship a sample, or on lots above 2,000 lb we come pull it ourselves. Either way, the assay sets the real number.

Step 03

Quote, weigh, paid

Written against the assay, before the lot ships. That number does not move once it arrives.

Stop guessing what it is worth

Tell us what you have and roughly how much. We will tell you if it is a fit, what the sample needs to look like, and what happens next.
