WE BUYCARBIDE WEAR PARTS
Carbide nozzles, valve seats, chokes, and flow restrictors line the equipment that moves abrasive fluids. When they erode, they get swapped, and the worn parts pile up in maintenance shops. That pile is tungsten carbide, and it is worth a quote.

WHAT THEY ARE
Hard parts from hard service.
Tungsten carbide wear parts survive where steel cannot: sand-laden wellheads, chemical reactors, slurry pumps, water-jet cutters. When the working surface erodes past tolerance, the part retires, but most of its carbide mass is still there.
Chokes & Restrictors
Wellhead chokes, flow restrictors, and erosion sleeves from oilfield service.
Mixed Wear Lots
Maintenance-shop accumulations: boxes and drums of retired wear components.
WHO GENERATES THEM
Plants that fight erosion
- Oil and gas production: wellhead chokes, valve trim, downhole components
- Chemical plants and refineries: reactor internals, pump wear parts
- Sandblasting and shot-peening operations: blast nozzles by the box
- Water-jet cutting shops: focusing tubes and mixing chambers
- Mining and aggregate: slurry pump liners and wear inserts
- Maintenance and MRO departments: accumulated retired components
ERODEDStill carbide
Worn working faces do not erase the bulk carbide mass.
DRUMSBox-to-drum lots
50 to 500 lbs typical from maintenance cleanouts.
MIXEDWe sort it
Mixed wear lots get graded by category on settlement.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Asked by shops holding this material.
Our wear parts are heavily eroded. Are they still worth anything?
Yes. Erosion removes the working surface, but the bulk of the part is still tungsten carbide. Heavily worn parts grade lower than clean ones, and the settlement shows exactly where each category landed.
We have parts with steel housings still attached. Is that a problem?
No. Carbide inserts in steel housings are normal in wear service. The steel is separated and the carbide priced on content; the report shows both sides of the math.
Can you handle a full maintenance-shop cleanout?
Yes. Mixed wear-part cleanouts are a standard lot: send photos of the overall pile plus representative pieces, and the quote covers the whole accumulation.
Do you need material certifications or part numbers?
They help but are not required. Part numbers and OEM names sharpen the grading; without them, the material is graded by testing and visual identification.
We generate wear parts continuously. Can this be recurring?
Yes. Plants with steady wear-part turnover get a commercial account with scheduled or on-demand pickup tied to maintenance cycles.
Who buys carbide wear parts?
Ironcrest buys tungsten carbide nozzles, valve seats, chokes, and flow components from oil and gas operations, chemical plants, refineries, and maintenance shops nationwide. Send photos of representative parts for a same-day written quote.
WORN DOES NOT MEAN WORTHLESS
That wear-part pile is worth a quote.
Send photos of representative parts, what they are, and your location. You will have a firm written quote back the same day.
