Carbide recycling<\/h1>\n

Saving resources for the future<\/h2>\n

When a cutting tool loses its cutting properties, that’s not the end \u2014 it’s just the beginning. We buy up your worn out tools and other carbide scrap, feed it into our recycling process centre and recover valuable secondary raw materials from it. We use these raw materials to produce new, high-performance tools.<\/p>\n

Why recycle carbide?<\/h2>\n

By carbide recycling, we conserve valuable and, above all, finite primary resources. This is because tool scrap still contains up to 90 per cent tungsten and 10 per cent cobalt.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ module_class=”gue-row-vertical-aligned-content gue-row-2col-image-text” _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/GUE_hartmetall-recycling-wolframcarbid-pulver.jpg” alt=”A worker in protective gloves holds a shovel full of tungsten carbide powder in an industrial environment” title_text=”A worker in protective gloves holds a shovel full of tungsten carbide powder in an industrial environment” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”] [\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.22.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Use high-quality raw materials sustainably<\/h3>\n

Cobalt in particular is currently one of the most popular raw materials in the world, as it is used to produce lithium-ion batteries, which are indispensable in e-mobility, for example. Tungsten, on the other hand, falls into the category of “conflict materials”. The European Union tightened the import of these conflict materials at the beginning of 2021 because their extraction and trade are particularly harmful to the environment. For example, 250 tonnes of ore have to be mined and processed to produce one tonne of tungsten. These natural resources can be conserved through carbide recycling.<\/p>\n

inas confirms 65% CO2<\/sub> savings through recycling<\/div>\n
\u201eIn our Product Carbon Footprint Study, we examined the production
of carbide rods manufactured by the company G\u00fchring KG in Kulmbach.
Our results showed that carbide recycling at G\u00fchring saves 64.8 % CO2
compared to using commercially available carbide powder made from primary materials.
For us, it is clear that switching to secondary raw materials
in carbide production and thus focusing on material cycles represents
the largest lever for reducing CO2 emissions.\u201c<\/div>\n

Recycling saves energy and emissions<\/h3>\n

Recovering secondary raw materials through recycling also makes a lot of sense in terms of energy and environmental management. If carbide is produced using carbide recycling, 40 per cent of CO2<\/sub> emissions and 75 per cent of the primary energy used can be saved compared to production using primary raw materials.<\/p>\n

G\u00fchring closes the material loop<\/h3>\n

Today, our blanks already contain over 65 per cent recycled carbide, and the trend is rising. For the quality of the tools, it makes no difference whether they are made from freshly extracted or recycled raw materials. The recycled carbide has the same purity as the so-called virgin powder, which means that the new tools are not subject to any loss of quality. The carbide made from recycled raw materials (grade GC 100 F) has the same performance as 10 per cent submicron carbide – the most important grade group for drilling and milling tools with 70 per cent coverage.<\/p>\n

Recycling process<\/h2>\n

With the help of our own carbide technology and our own recycling plants in Germany, G\u00fchring is able to recover and recycle almost 100 per cent of the raw material. This is why we collect used carbide tools and other carbide parts and process the tungsten contained in the tool scrap into secondary raw materials in powder form by means of zinc recycling. We use this dark grey tungsten powder to sinter new carbide as material for our high-quality cutting tools.<\/p>\n

Why zinc recycling?<\/h3>\n

Carbide can be recycled in two different ways: with zinc process, in which the carbide is converted into powder, and with chemical process, in which cobalt is produced separately as a by-product.<\/p>\n

At G\u00fchring, we rely on zinc recycling, as the quality of the recycled tools is significantly higher. In addition, the zinc process is more environmentally friendly compared to the chemical process, as no wet chemistry is used.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text module_class=”gue-row-text-module” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Zinc recycling process<\/h3>\n

As soon as we receive your worn out tools and scrap metal, they are transported to our recycling facilities to be recycled into powder. In the first step, they are cleaned and crushed into suitable sizes to ensure homogeneous processing. Zinc recycling then takes place in the following steps:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=”Step 1: Zinc distillation ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Heating:<\/strong> The prepared hard metal scrap is placed in a reactor and heated to a temperature of around 900-1000 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n

Zinc addition:<\/strong> Zinc is added to the heated reactor. The zinc melts and mixes with the carbide.<\/p>\n

Phase formation:<\/strong> At these temperatures, the zinc forms a liquid phase with the cobalt, which acts as a binder in the hard metals. The tungsten carbide remains as a solid phase.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Step 2: Cooling & zinc deposition” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Cooling:<\/strong> The mixture is cooled slowly. During cooling, the zinc separates from the solid tungsten carbide matrix.<\/p>\n

Zinc distillation:<\/strong> The zinc is removed from the mixture by distillation. It is converted into a gaseous state and then liquefied again in a condenser so that it can be reused for further recycling processes.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”Step 3: Mechanical post-treatment” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Separation:<\/strong> After removing the zinc, a porous tungsten carbide-cobalt framework remains. This material is mechanically treated to standardise the particles and remove any remaining zinc residue.<\/p>\n

Powder production:<\/strong> The recycled carbide is converted into powder form, which can then be reused for the production of new carbide products. To do this, the powder is mixed with fresh cobalt and other necessary materials and converted into the desired mould.<\/p>\n

Good role model <\/span>
\nRecycling at the BMW Group<\/span><\/h3>\n

One example of how sustainable carbide recycling works is the BMW Group: it already uses drill bits and milling tools containing recycled tungsten. This material cycle has been extended to all BMW plants in Germany and Austria.<\/p>\n

Each year, these plants produce almost nine tonnes of scrap from carbide tools, which contain an average of over seven tonnes of recyclable tungsten. Nadine Philipp, Head of Sustainability in supply chain at the BMW Group, says that “every gram counts, for which we can ensure that it conserves natural resources and does not contribute to violations of environmental and social standards.”[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” module_class=”gue-adbox” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” animation_direction=”left” link_option_url=”https:\/\/webshop.guehring-carbide.com\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/guehring.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/GUE_website-pikto_webshop.svg” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” link_option_url=”https:\/\/webshop.guehring-carbide.com\/en\/” link_option_url_new_window=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
