Tungsten Men’s Size 10 Wedding Band

Tungsten inscribed inside. Facts Let's start with some facts: • Tungsten metal is rated at about a nine on the Mohs scale of hardness. A diamond, which is the hardest substance on earth and the only thing that can scratch tungsten, is rated at a 10. • Tungsten carbide is two to three times harder than titanium and cobalt chrome. • The word tungsten comes from a Swedish term meaning "heavy stone." • Tungsten's chemical symbol "W" comes from its earlier name, wolfram, which comes from the mineral wolframite, in which tungsten was discovered. Wolframite means "the devourer of tin" because the mineral interferes with the smelting of tin. • Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals at an astounding 6,191.6 degrees Fahrenheit. • Tungsten wedding bands and other tungsten rings are composed of 85% tungsten and 15% nickel, which is optimal for scratch resistance and durability. A higher percentage makes the metal too brittle, and a lower percentage makes it too soft for jewelry applications. • Tungsten wedding bands for men, are the top selling metal for men's wedding rings in America today.
