Benefits of Tool Reconditioning
Niagara’s modern carbide tools offer remarkable performance by utilizing the best combinations of carbide substrates with high wear-resistant coatings, optimized cutting geometry, and controlled edge preparation. However good a tool is, as part of its function, it will eventually show signs of wear on the cutting edge. Controlling this wear and the timely replacement of the tool will allow the used tool to be reconditioned, thus reducing tool investment costs. We recondition your solid carbide tools using the same advanced technology and care that we use to manufacture our new products. These tools are remanufactured to our normal high standards with the original Niagara geometry, edge preparation, and coating processes.
Recycling of Used Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten carbide is a valuable and limited resource. Estimations of the existing reserves of tungsten suggest that with present consumption resources will be depleted within 40 - 100 years. For the last few years, demand has been higher than production and a general trend toward higher consumption can clearly be seen. Recycling of used material compared to the mining of virgin material reduces the environmental impact. By recycling, we can prolong the time before the resources are at an end and reduce energy consumption by approximately 35%. At the same time, recycling tungsten carbide reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 40%.
