Properties of Tungsten Rings

Tungsten carbide rings are a very popular choice for consumers in the market for wedding bands. This type of ring offers many benefits over rings made of other materials like, titanium, gold, silver and steel. Tungsten carbide is a man-made material that is formed when tungsten is combined with carbon. This type of ring is one of the hardest, most durable types of rings available.

The Moh's scale is used to reference the hardness of materials; this scale assigns values that range from 1 to 10. Diamond is the hardest material available with a hardness rating of 10. Tungsten carbide's hardness rating is 9; there are very few materials harder than tungsten carbide. Its tensile strength is up to 500,000 PSI at room temperature, and at 1,650 degrees, tungsten carbide offers the highest tensile strength of any metal. This material melts at 6,170 degrees Fahrenheit.
