JVL Jewelry Tungsten Carbide
Tungsten with carbon and other elements are ground into a powder and then compressed with high pressure dies to form a ring blank. The blank is then fired in an oxygen free furnace at astounding temperatures. This process called sintering creates the hardest metal used for making jewelry. The ring is then cut and shaped using diamond tools with approximately 50 steps required for completion. This fabrication process is in many ways comparable to cutting and shaping gemstones.
Technical Information about Tungsten Carbide Rings:
* Tungsten carbide rings provide the best scratch resistance available on the planet.
* Tungsten is about:
-10 times harder than 18K Gold
-5 times harder than tool steel
-4 times harder than titanium.
* Tungsten measures between 8 and 9 on the Mohs scale. (Diamonds are a 10 - the highest.)
* Tungsten carbide rings have been referred to as "Permanently Polished Rings".
* Tungsten carbide rings will NOT deform.
