Getting bored of presenting yourself in those old fashioned jewelry? Not only design also looking for a change in the metal? Well, now the alternate choice is exclusively for you only and it's not so far from your pocket. After many years of traditional jewelry style, now time has come to change the style and fashion. In the world of fashion and jewelry, tungsten carbide is a well known name. Before you think of purchasing another gold or silver jewelry, stop and look forward for a new revolutionary alloy in jewelry. This metal is known as tungsten carbide. This is a high polished metal compound which will be looks like new even after usage of 25-40 years. It has a perfect combination of strength and style in it. In many ways tungsten carbide gaining its popularity among fashion conscious people.
The base metal is tungsten mixed with carbide power and forged together to make tungsten carbide rings. After forging, rings are being ground and polished to add the shiny and sleek look into it. Tungsten has the property of shine and carbide is used for toughness. Combining these two base materials produces a high strength precision polish alloy. It is almost 5 times harder than normal steel. Another property made it popular even it is highly polished yet scratch free. Any other material used for making jewelry is not 100% scratch free. Being a high hardness material it is ductile in nature and impossible to bend or repair. But this is very durable rather than any other material available in market.
However, many others duplicate products available in the market which claims to be a tungsten carbide ring, titanium ring etc. but one should be properly convinced before to go for tungsten carbide ring. Though all metal rings are momentarily polished but they are not scratch free in nature. If anything engraved on it, than surely it is not tungsten carbide ring. Because, the manufacturing process of making rings makes it impossible to engrave anything on the ring. Rings are forged at the temperature of 6000 deg Centigrade in molten state. No metal can resist the temp. & molts far below than it. Only possible option is to make a groove in the mould and later after the ring is being forged placed the diamond or any other materials on to it externally. In duplicate rings cobalt may exist in the form of oxide. This oxide can cause serious skin effect. So be sure that no oxidation mark is there on the rings. |
