Follow on Google News | Tungsten Rings – The Story Behind the StrengthTungsten rings are quickly becoming a very popular choice for wedding bands and everyday rings. Tungsten’s weight, shine and durability appeal to men and women alike.
By: shasa Just how hard are tungsten rings? It is second only to diamonds as the hardest material used in jewelry today. When tungsten is combined with carbon, an alloy called tungsten carbide is produced. The metal becomes extremely durable and virtually scratch-proof. Because the name tungsten carbide is long, many jewelers, including Tungsten Jewelry, just use the word “tungsten” The process of making tungsten carbide jewelry involves grinding and machining a piece of shapeless metal into a beautifully designed ring, similar to cutting and polishing a beautiful diamond. Tungsten rings consist of 85% tungsten carbide, which is the ideal tungsten carbide purity level to produce the strongest rings. The remaining 15% consists of trace amounts of many other metals, nickel being the main component to bind all the other metals together. The metals are ground down into a fine powder and then high pressure compression is used to form a ring blank. The blank is then fired in an oxygen free furnace at extremely high temperatures. Tungsten is so strong, that it does not really melt in extremely high temperatures. Instead, it is the other elements that melt and “glue” themselves to tungsten to form tungsten carbide. The result is a solid piece of metal that behaves more like a hard diamond than a metal. The next stage is the most labor intensive step required to make tungsten rings. The rings must be cut and polished into their desired styles with diamond cutting wheels and grinding tools. The finishing step is to polish the rings to a high sheen by using a fine powder of diamond dust. Only after all this labor and energy is put into each ring, is it finally ready for you to wear. Tungsten rings will provide years and years of pleasure to wear with no deterioration in looks or performance. This is the reason that tungsten is proving so popular for use in wedding bands – there is something innately romantic about the idea of the symbol of lifetime love, actually lasting a lifetime. Tungsten is not just a fashion trend, but a major player that is here to stay, with its own unique niche in the men’s wedding ring market.
