What is tungsten carbide? Tungsten carburide (chemical symbol: WC), is a carbide containing equal numbers of tungsten and carbide atoms. The most basic form is a fine gray dust, but can be pressed to shapes using a sintering process. This powder is used in industrial machinery and cutting tools as well as abrasives.

Is tungsten carbide better than tungsten?
Tungsten carburide is a dense, grayish-blue metal that decomposes instead of melting at 2600degC. It is made by heating powdered carbon black and tungsten at 1,400deg-1600degC (2.550deg-2.900degF) with hydrogen.
Tungsten carburide is similar to tungsten in many ways, including its durability, strength and melting point. However, it’s a much better metal. Tungsten has an Mohs score of 7.5. Tungsten carbide has a high scratch resistance of Mohs 8-9, and is used as the hardest metal in jewelry.

Does tungsten carbide have a higher strength than steel?
When tungsten is combined with a carbide, the chemical formula for WC, it can rival diamond as the hardest known material. Its impact resistance, toughness and scratch/scratch/erosion resistance are excellent, and its service life under extreme conditions is 100 times that of steel.

Tungsten carbide is the hardest metal on earth. Tungsten-carbide jewelry is comparable to gold and platinum, and it’s lightweight and moderately priced. Tungsten’s hardness means it will not bend. This will prevent the ring from deforming unexpectedly, and causing further damage to your finger. The top tungsten carbide ring won’t lose its shine.

Why are tungsten carbide rings so cheap?
Because of the reduced amount of labor, tungsten ring prices are low. This will cause a drop in the level of precision and maintenance in the ring-making process, which in turn will affect quality.
How can I tell that the tungsten carbide ring you have is real?
To test your ring, try to mark and apply it. If the ring resists marking it will be good. If it becomes dirty quickly and loses its luster in a matter of minutes, the quality is low.

The high hardness, durability and strength of tungsten carbide, as well as its high melting point, have many applications in our daily lives. There are many other benefits of tungsten carbide than just rings.

1. The tungsten carbide brake system has been changed by Porsche
The rotors coated with tungsten carbide will perform better, wear less, produce less brake dust, and have no rust.

The brake discs in most modern vehicles are made of carbon ceramic or cast iron. Porsche, however, has implemented a new brake disk made from tungsten carbide. This will revolutionize this industry.

The Porsche Surface Coated Brake, or PSCB is an iron brake rotor which has been coated with a superheated tungsten-carbide layer at high speed. The result is a thick, dense coating of material with a 0.1-mm thickness. Porsche claims that despite the thinness of the useful materials, the rotor’s service life is 30 percent longer than a rotor made of iron.

Jason Fenske is also a contributor for Road and Track who said that the brake dust generated by PSCB was reduced by around 90% because the rotors wear very little during their lifetime. The tungsten carbide can keep the rotor cool after repeated hard braking.

2. EDC gear with tungsten carbide (hardness of 3.5 times titanium) will allow the entire service lifetime

The hardness is 3.5x that of titanium. This makes tungsten carbide the strongest metal on earth, and it’s also known as black gold. Any gear can be coated with tungsten carbide. It is black and shiny like obsidian. They are almost indestructible and resistant to external wear. Wingback’s Black Steel products were designed Alasdair MackLaine, and they have three features that are not yet at the minimum requirement. You will find them indispensable in your daily life. The bullet-shaped key cache will help you to store emergency money in your keychain. The mechanical pen that has a large, comfortable design is sure to be your last one.

MacLaine’s hip flask 100ml has the same design of cylindrical lathe as the other products. This hip flask is unique in its appearance and functionality, thanks to the innovative baton-shaped design. It can be used as a corkscrew and for storing liquids.

All Black Steel Products are manufactured by precision lathes made of stainless steel in the UK. A revolutionary process known as magnetron spraying is then used to coat the magic tungsten-carbide surface with 3um. Due to the steel structure underneath the black coating, the black material still retains a high gloss. Laser engraving allows you to add personalized and customized messages on your product. Shiny steel is revealed underneath the black coating.
