Strip tungsten from brass

Any ideas on how to strip a tungsten Detonation-gun applied coating 005in. thick from a brass substrate?

Todd,

I think that you meant Tungsten Carbide which is typically applied with DGun. In that case I only know about 2 ways. Grind it with diamond stones or water jet it with specialized equipment. Hope this helps in case that by now you haven't found your way.
