Extreme Technology TUNGSTEN CARBIDE

Tungsten Magnum rings are the only rings that have been made to last a lifetime. These rings are highly scratch resistant and to hold the original tungsten magnum finish for life.

Tungsten carbide can be classified as a true innovative breakthrough in the jewelry industry.The main advantage that tungsten carbide holds over these other metals is that it’s virtually impossible to scratch.

Also, tungsten carbide is a much heavier and denser metal, and more expensive.

Like gold, silver and platinum, tungsten is an element #74.Tungsten is not man made but comes from nature.Tungsten is one of the main elements we have used in the development of our civilization.Without tungsten, we would not have the incandescent light bulb.The tungsten filament used inside these bulbshas the toughness and resilience that no other metal has. In 1922 the Germans developed tungsten carbide as the material used in making better cutting tool bits for precision milling and for the cutting of steel parts.

*Tungsten carbide is 5 times stronger than steel

*Tungsten carbide is 20 times stronger than aluminum

*Tungsten carbide is 150 times stronger than plastic

Tungsten has the highest metlting point of all the elements.It melts at 3,420 degrees centigrade and boils at 5,700 degrees centigrade.

Tungsten is processed with carbon and ground into powder.The mixed metal powder is then compressed into high pressure molds, at extremely high temperatures, to form a ring (a new mold needs to be made for each finger size). The ring is then fired in an oxygen-free oven at an astounding 2400 degrees.The ring now has to
be ground, cut and shaped using very expensive diamond tooling.This process is similar to the one used in cutting and polishing of rough diamonds.The result is a solid metal of extraordinary
hardness and durability.

Our tungsten carbide jewelry,will not harm your skin .all the precision polishing, or jewelry polishes the inside of the very pretty, so you feel very comfortable together. never a very hard metal and damage your skin.

Tungsten jewelry requires very little care. soft cloth will bring out the original bright finish on these jewellery . Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals and do not leave in ultrasonic cleaners.
