Introduction and General Considerations

It is the high intrinsic value in anything containing tungsten, even in smaller concentrations, which makes tungsten scrap an interesting and worthy material for 

2 Oxide dispersed W alloys (TI1O25 Z1O2, Ce02) La203) 96-98 Hard Scrap 

3 Hard metal pieces (also containing Co, Ta) 60-97 (solid pieces) 

10 Hard metal grinding sludge 15-60 powder, dust. 

Besides this intrinsic value, the tungsten world market was decisive in increasing the recycled percentage of the total tungsten production in earlier times. More recently, environmental and resource-preserving aspects became necessary.
