The most infusible metal tungsten is often used as a component of many thermal strength alloy, for example, alloy make up with 3% to 15% tungsten, 25% to 35% chromium, 45% to 65% cobalt and 0.5% to 2.75% carbon mainly used for the manufacture of strong and wear-resistant parts, such as aviation engine valve, the working parts of the die eagerly knife, turbine impeller, mining equipment, ploughshares surface coating, as well as some other wear resistant parts. The alloy produced by tungsten and other refractory metals (tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, rhenium) is often used as heat resisting material.

Tungsten is a hardy and brilliantly shiny metal that is popular for a variety of ring styles, including wedding rings and wide designer bands. Tungsten is so hard that it has to be cut and polished with the same types of tools that are used to cut and polish diamonds. Ordinary tools will not even dent this beautiful metal. One of the best things about tungsten is that it is nearly maintenance free and holds its brilliance and shine with little or no help from you.

Instructions

1
Buff away fingerprints using a soft, dry cloth. Tungsten retains its polish forever, so you will just need to smooth away oily fingerprints periodically using a soft, dry cloth.

2
Brush away scratches. If your tungsten ring appears scratched, do not worry. It is not. Tungsten is too hard to be susceptible to daily wear-and-tear like scratches. Instead, these "scratches" are small pieces of material that have become attached to the tungsten. You can remove them with warm water and gentle scrubbing with a soft toothbrush.

3
Add mild detergent to your cleaning arsenal. For extremely contrary "scratches," you can add a few drops of a mild detergent to a small bowl of warm water and use the toothbrush to scrub the ring in this solution. This will remove any difficult marks and scratches completely.

4
Dry the tungsten ring with a dry, soft cloth. If you allow the ring to air dry, you will end up with spots on your otherwise unmarred ring.

Tips & Warnings
If your tungsten ring has silver inlays, they will need to be polished with silver polish periodically.

Do not leave a tungsten ring in an ultrasonic cleaner for more than one minute. While the metal is quite resilient, tungsten rings are originally made from powdered metal and too much time in an ultrasonic cleaner can cause them to deteriorate.

Tungsten carbide is a very hard material made from tungsten and carbon. It is commonly used for the tips of tools, especially cutting tools. While this material is very hard, it does become worn over time and may require grinding or sharpening. Carbide tools and tips can be ground with a diamond grinding wheel, but grinding a tool evenly requires skill and practice.

Instructions

1
Attach the diamond wheel to your bench grinder. Refer to your manual to ensure that the wheel is properly attached and the grinder itself is appropriately mounted.

2
Hold your tungsten carbide tool against the rest beneath the wheel. Touch the tip to the wheel, but do not turn on the grinder yet. Adjust the rest as needed so that you achieve the necessary grinding angle for your particular tool. Many rests will allow you to adjust both the height and the angle of the rest.

3
Remove the tool from the rest, then turn on the grinder. Touch the tip of the tool to the moving wheel, just as you did before when determining the angle, and use the rest to guide the angle of the grinding. Carbide may emit short red sparks during grinding. These are normal. The carbide tool may also become very hot. Work in short intervals and do not burn yourself, overheat the tool or touch the tool immediately after grinding. Continue grinding until the tool is sharpened.

Tips & Warnings
If you have a grinder with a jig rest that allows you to angle the tool prior to grinding and holds it while the machine is operating, this is the best option because there will be no human error during the grinding process.

Wear eye protection and a mask. Tungsten carbide is hard, but somewhat brittle and it is possible for small piece to fly off.

Tungsten carbide is made largely from carbon and tungsten, but it may contain other materials that are hazardous when inhaled. Wash off any dust after grinding carbide tools.

Some carbide tools are very small. You may require another tool to hold the carbide tool to the grinding wheel so that your fingers are not in danger.
