Tungsten is a resilient steel-gray metal, located in many different ores. While the metal was actually discovered by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1781, its many uses weren't discovered until the early decades of the twentieth century. Tungsten carbide has been used in mining and mechanical applications--everything from light-bulb filaments and x-ray tubes to drill bits.

Discovery
Scheele discovered a new acid which could be made from an ore called tungstenite--later known as scheelite. In 1783 Jose and Fausto Elhuyar managed to isolate and extract tungsten from the ore.

The Twenties and the Thirties
Tungsten carbide was used by the German company Osram in place of diamond drawing dies. Cemented carbide was invented and used for the cutting and milling of iron and steel.

Cobalt, Tantalum and Titanium
When combined with cobalt, titanium or tantalum, the material was strengthened. This made it very popular for use in cutting, milling and mining drills.

World War II
During the second World War, tungsten carbide was needed by both sides for its weaponry production. Portugal was valuable due to its supplies of of wolframite ore, a source of tungsten.

Expansion in Production
Tungsten carbide has become increasingly popular and in high demand throughout the decades, now presently producing up to almost 30,000 tons annually.

The Present Day
Isostatic pressure sintering, led to the development of tungsten which was even harder than before. Tungsten is used in tools, mining, weaponry and even jewelry.

Tungsten carbide rings are made from tungsten and carbide powders, resulting in an indestructible, scratch-proof metal. The metal is used to create rings, wedding bands and bracelets. Tungsten is a rare metal that, is almost 10 times harder than 18-karat gold, five times harder than tool steel and four times harder than titanium. Tungsten carbide rings require little care, although cleaning is required to remove dirt, exposure to chemicals, soap residue and fingerprints.

Instructions

1
Combine 1 cup of warm water with ? tbsp. liquid dish soap in a bowl or cup. Submerge the tungsten carbide ring in the water for five minutes.

2
Lift the ring above the bowl or cup. Rub a toothbrush or cloth over the ring to gently clean any remaining grime or buildup from the ring.

3
Rinse the ring in cool water to remove any remaining soap residue.

4
Rub the ring with a soft or microfiber cloth to dry it and prevent water spots.

Tips & Warnings
Tungsten carbide metal is extremely strong and can be cleaned with cool, warm or hot water. However, it is recommended you clean a tungsten carbide ring with warm water, only because the warm water helps dissolve the liquid dish soap.

Avoid using any jewelry cleaners, cleaning solutions and cleaning products when cleaning Tungsten carbide rings. Chemicals, such as ammonia, bleach and chlorine react poorly with the composition of tungsten, which can damage the ring. Prior to working with any of these chemicals, remove the ring or wear protective rubber gloves. Should your ring come in contact with any of these chemicals, rinse it immediately.
