Certified quality standard with batch and inspection certification
Maximum quality assurance, fully documented – for reliable results.
Maximum quality assurance, fully documented – for reliable results. Our products stand for inspected quality, seamless traceability, and full documentation. Every batch is analyzed in the lab in accordance with clearly defined standards and is shipped accompanied by all required inspection documentation. As a result, we generate trust – and give you the basis for reliable and standard-compliant processes
Seamless traceability of your shipment
Every shipment is assigned a unique batch number that provides on-demand traceability for all relevant production and inspection data – from the raw material source to the finished component. As a result, we not only meet statutory requirements, but also all industry-specific standards, such as ISO 9001:2015.
Extensive inspection certifications for your documentation
On request, each product you receive will be accompanied by corresponding records:
- Factory certification 2.1 confirms that the shipment matches the purchase order.
- Factory certification 2.2 confirms that the material matches specifications.
- Inspection certification 3.1: on request, we will prepare an inspection certification with specific metrology results.
First Article Inspection Report (FAIR/EMPB): as part of the first article inspection process prior to batch production, you will receive a complete FAIR/EMPB based on your requirements.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Quality verified based on lab analysis and inspection reports
- Full traceability of each batch
- Standard-compliant inspection certifications
- Tailored implementation of inspection requirements
- All documents are provided in digital form for your QA systems

Sustainability by recycling carbide and tungsten
We are committed to sustainability: we recycle carbides and tungsten alloys to:
- Reduce the CO₂ footprint
- Conserve resources
- Reduce material costs for our customers
- Reduce the requirements for rare earth materials and to reduce supply chains dependencies
Efficient recycling allows us to reduce the dependence on primary raw materials and strengthen a sustainable and reliable raw material supply.
Together for a sustainable future: the more raw materials are recycled, the more effectively limited resources can be kept in circulation.
What materials do we recycle for you?
We will reclaim a variety of raw materials for recycling, including:
- Machining inserts
- EDM blocks
- Drills
- and many other carbide products
- Electrodes made of tungsten alloys
This is how our recycling process works:
Your benefits as a customer
- Cost reductions: reduce your material costs by using recycled raw mate.
- Sustainability: demonstrate within your business and to your customers that your actions are responsible and environmentally conscientious.
- Easy processing: we take care of the entire recycling process from pickup to recycled raw material – quickly, efficiently, and conveniently.
Easy processing with NHT:
- Contact your personal in-house sales consultant or send an email to recycling@negele-hartmetall.de.
- Tell us about the type of materials and an approximate weight.
- We take care of all the rest – from providing the transportation box, to return shipment, and even including environmentally friendly recycling of your materials.
