Chosen for its durability, scratch resistance and beautiful silver color, tungsten rings are a popular choice for wedding bands and men's fashion rings. Tungsten is five times harder than steel and 10 times harder than 18 karat gold. This rugged durability makes tungsten rings ideal for people performing manual labor who wish to wear jewelry while working. If you need to remove a tungsten ring because of an emergency, medical or otherwise, you can remove it with common household tools. This is not difficult but it may destroy the ring. When the ring is cut, the metal will shatter.

Instructions

    Tight Tungsten Rings

        1
        Place the ring finger under a stream of cool water. The cool temperature to reduce swelling of the finger.

        2
        Apply liquid soap to the ring finger. Rub the soap around the ring and finger to lubricate the ring. Gently twist the ring from side to side to lubricate the underside with soap. Liquid soap will not damage tungsten.

        3
        Gently pull the ring toward the knuckle. Work the ring down the shaft of the finger until it slides off.
 
        4
        Seek medical attention in the event of an emergency. If the tungsten ring is cutting off circulation or causing pain, go to a hospital.

        5
        Prepare to remove the ring yourself. If medical assistance is not available, a tungsten ring can be shattered and removed from the finger with a pair of vice grip pliers.

        6
        Place the vice grip pliers around the ring. If the ring is bent into an oval shape, place the pliers on the long sides of the oval.

        7
        Apply a quick squeeze of pressure to the ring. Tungsten will fracture into pieces and fall away from the finger.

        8
        Look for cuts or wounds on the finger. Clean the wound with water. Apply an antibiotic ointment and bandage the wound. Seek medical attention as soon as possible if stitches are needed or if the blood is not clotting at the wound site.

Sharpening a tungsten ensures that the arc of your tig weld remains small and symmetrical. If you attempt to weld with a blunt-tipped tungsten, the resulting weld will look sloppy and drift outside the ideal welding site-line, and the tungsten will begin to arc itself to the weld and stick. Sharpening a tungsten is simple, and completing this process will ensure that each pass you make with your welder is fluid. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions

        1
        A wheel grinder is the fastest way to sharpen your tungsten. 

        Put on your safety glasses and welding gloves. Remove the tungsten from the welder's torch and turn on the wheel grinder.

        2
        Hold the tungsten against the grinding wheel lightly. The wheel will grind the tungsten quickly, so there is no need to apply a lot of pressure. The angle of the tungsten should be 15 degrees parallel to the grinding wheel. You want your tungsten to have the same look as a freshly sharpened pencil.

        3
        Rotate the tungsten in your fingers as you hold it against the wheel at a 15-degree angle. Twist the tungsten all the way around several times until the end is a sharp point, the neck of the tungsten's point tapering in about 1.5 inches from the point.

        4
        Check your work. When you are satisfied, wipe the end of the tungsten clean with a rag to remove all debris. You are ready to begin tig welding again.

Carbide is a word that refers to a variety of carbon compounds. While there are several different types of carbide, tungsten carbide is the type most commonly used for cutting or drilling tools; it is very hard, relatively inexpensive, and will retain a sharp edge for a long time. While tungsten carbide is noted for its remarkable durability, a tungsten carbide tool may need occasional sharpening if it is used regularly.

Instructions

        1
        Determine if your tool needs sharpening. One easy way to decide if your tool is becoming dull is to see if it reflects light well. Shine is an indication of wear. You can also gently scrape a fingernail on a blade and see if it shaves off a sliver; if it does not, the blade is dull. Touch is not necessarily a good way to determine if a blade is sharp, as a dull carbide tool may still feel sharp.

        2
        Find a professional sharpening service. Sharpening carbide is not recommended for non-professionals, as it requires skill and specific sharpening machinery. Imprecise sharpening can ruin a tool, and a professional can restore a blade to like-new condition.

        3
        If you are interested in learning how to sharpen blades yourself, it is recommended that you locate a teacher.

        4
        Carbide tools require diamond for sharpening, due to their hardness. Wet grinding using an abrasive wheel on an automatic grinder is a very precise method of sharpening. It is also possible to sharpen a tool by using a diamond lap, but this is very imprecise and time-consuming.
