Direct Answer: Spent commercial diamond saw blades are 100% recyclable. High-alloy steel cores (made from 75Cr1 or 30CrMo spring steel) are highly valued by scrap metal recyclers, while worn segment stub scrap is processed by specialized metallurgical refiners to recover valuable cobalt, nickel, and synthetic diamond grit.
