About Tungsten Carbide Rings & Wedding Rings

Tungsten Carbide Rings Are Made to Last a Lifetime

Tungsten carbide is a tough, scratch resistant metal that is becoming extremely popular as a medium to make all kinds of things, including both men's and women's wedding rings and other kinds of more casual forms of Tungsten rings.

What are the advantages of Tungsten Carbide Rings?

When it comes to making Tungsten rings, there are many advantages to this precious metal. First, tungsten carbide rings are ten times harder than 18ct gold, as well as five times harder than steel and it is even four times harder than titanium! This means that tungsten rings are made from the hardest possible precious metal that is used to make wedding bands and other types of jewellery.
The fact that it is so hard and scratch resistant makes tungsten carbide rings always look new and shiny because they never show signs of age no matter how long you have them. Tungsten rings are polished using a diamond composite, and they never lose their lustrous shine! Plus, tungsten is nearly indestructible, only breaking under heavy impact or force, what could be better as a symbol of marriage, which is a love that is meant to last a lifetime!
Regular rings made of other metals like gold or silver will quickly show the wear and tear of scratches, nicks, dents, bending or other blemishes. But not tungsten rings, as they completely resist these sorts of damages. Tungsten is as hard as a diamond, which rates ten on the special Mohs hardness scale and Tungsten rates an eight or a nine on the Mohs scale.

How are Tungsten Rings made?

To make Tungsten rings, the two components of tungsten and carbide powders are ground into a powder and high pressure is used to make a ring blank. The ring blank is then heated to more than 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit to create the metal that all Tungsten rings are created from.
All Tungsten carbide rings are then individually made, as well as being hand-crafted to bring out the best possible designs to meet the fancy of your fiancée in the form of a wedding or engagement ring, or to form other kinds of less formal types of rings and jewellery. Diamond tools are used to cut and shape the rings since nothing else can cut it into the proper shapes.

Caring for Tungsten Rings

When you own a tungsten ring, there are a few things to remember about its care. Even though they are scratch resistant, you should not do something such as hit it on purpose with a hammer just to see what happens! The tensile strength of tungsten is about 500,000 PSI, but there are still ways that it may be damaged in put under enough pressure.
You also should not try to clean tungsten rings in an ultrasonic, ionic or steam cleaner. You also cannot clean them with chemicals, as this can cause them to get spotted, and you can only clean them with a mild type of soap and warm water. Use this mixture, along with a toothbrush or a soft cloth. This will keep your tungsten carbide rings clean of any dirt, or other materials.

Exposure to bleach-based products over a long time can cause tungsten carbide to dull and have a mottled effect. This however can easily be polished off, please see our you tube video How to Polish a Tungsten Carbide Ring.
