tungston carbide inserts

[nasty]

Does anyone know what tungston carbide inserts are bring

[RJGMC]

Been watching it myself. Lately it seems to be around $8.00 a pound. They like to get at least 40 pounds shipped to them in a flat rate box. Well taped and stuffed. I try to send about 55 to 60 pounds at a time. If using a flat rate box, it is the cheapest way to go. I put the inserts in heavy plastic Gatorade or other drink bottles. it ships well. They just cut them open with a razor knife. If you ship 50 pounds or so, they will usually reimburse you for the shipping.

HF!

I don't know, but I'm hoping to find out out!
(I thought it was some sort of material used for making or coating drill bits?)

Tungsten Carbide inserts are used in machining harder metals like stainless steels. They are usually mounted in some type of holder(insert drills,turning tools,etc.). They tend to be brittle and chip out. What you're probably looking for are used inserts from machine shops or production shops.
