What is the difference between virgin tungsten carbide and recycled tungsten carbide?

It is very difficult for consumers to distinguish between virgin and recycled materials. Once you purchase a recycled tungsten carbide material product, if you find out early, you will only lose money on the material. However, if you find out late, you will lose the processing fee, or worse, you may lose your customers.

Therefore, when buying materials, you need to choose a professional factory or company to buy from. Deli Carbide always insists on using the best quality fresh raw materials to produce tungsten carbide products. The purity of its tungsten powder reaches 99.95%, and it is determined to eliminate any kind of recycled materials.

Today, Deli Carbide will tell you how to distinguish between virgin tungsten carbide and recycled tungsten carbide:

1) The density of recycled tungsten carbide is lower than that of virgin tungsten carbide. Take YG15 tungsten carbide as an example: Density: 13.90-14.20g/cm³ We can measure the external dimensions of the purchased tungsten carbide product, then calculate the volume based on the external dimensions, and then weigh the weight in KG, the formula is: density = weight/volume (Note that KG is converted to g and the volume unit is CM³.) If the calculated density is lower than the national standard density of YG15, it can be concluded that this piece of tungsten carbide is definitely made of recycled material.

2) The surface of the recycled tungsten carbide blank is uneven and very rough.

3) The recycled tungsten carbide cannot reach the finish after fine grinding, there will be black spots, and in serious cases, there will be pores or sand holes.

(4) Recycled tungsten carbide will break during the processing of slow moving wire.
