Tungsten Carbide is an inorganic chemical compound which contains equal numbers of tungsten and carbon atoms. It is sometimes colloquially referred to as simply “carbide.” In its most basic form, it is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes for use in industrial machinery, tools, abrasives, as well as men's jewelry.
The notable and rare combination of physical properties possessed by tungsten carbide makes it useful for a variety of applications. It is extremely strong and wear-resistant. There are only a few materials on earth that can be used to cut or engrave tungsten carbide, with industrial diamond abrasives being one of these. Its tensile strength is very high, but it is brittle under high pressures as a result. The melting point of tungsten carbide is also very high, at 5,200 degrees Fahrenheit (2,870 degrees C). To boil, it must be heated much further, to an astronomical 10,382 degrees Fahrenheit (6000 degrees C).
Tungsten carbide can be made by reacting tungsten and carbon at temperatures of around 2552 to 3632 degrees Fahrenheit (1400 to 2000 degrees C).
Several common consumer goods contain tungsten carbide, including razor blades and the rotating tips of ballpoint pens. It has also become increasingly common for tungsten carbide to be used in men's wedding bands. When used in this way, the bands have a dark hue that can be polished to a mirror-like shine. Due to the toughness of the material, these rings will remain shiny and scratch-free for decades.

This ring is getting more and more popularity due to its sleek look, scratches free nature and always looks like new. Tungsten ring is more popular as wedding ring which will be shiny and glossy even on your 25th anniversary. This rings are almost indestructible unique in style. These rings have a perfect combination of style and strength what makes it more attractive among men and women.
Tungsten ring not only give you an exotic look but it will be shiny forever once it has been polished. This is slightly heavier but more durable as compared to the other metals. Once tungsten and carbide powder is forged, it is polished by diamond wheel grinder after that lapping is complete with a diamond lapper to introduce a super finish look on it. It permanent polished look is not possible for other metals makes it more precious among all jewelry. It terms of durability it is almost 10 times harder than 18k gold and 5 times harder than normal carbon steel. Using the Mohs hardness scale (1-10); tungsten measures between 8 and 9 just below Diamonds. Which tells that it is as hard and diamond and nothing creates an everlasting both as tungsten does.
One should be aware of few things before purchasing the tungsten carbide rings. Because there are many dealers available in the market those who claim quality product but until you know few common characteristic you cannot buy a good quality product. Like tungsten carbide only tungsten rings are also available in the market. Only tungsten rings are nothing but a simple metal ring adding up carbide into it makes the ring scratch proof. A good quality tungsten carbide ring can only be scratched by diamond product or any mineral corundum product. Another thing is that is the tungsten carbide ring contains cobalt which will oxidize in contact with air, producing spots on the surface of the ring. These spots are irremovable from the surface. And if it comes in contact with skin it may cause skin disease. Another easy way to tell that if you find any thing engraved on the surface it can not be tungsten carbide. So make sure about the proper dealer and the quality of the product before you purchase one.
