The quality or state of being hard, literally or figuratively., The cohesion of the particles on the surface of a body, determined by its capacity to scratch another, or be itself scratched;-measured among minerals on a scale of which diamond and talc form the extremes., The peculiar quality exhibited by water which has mineral salts dissolved in it. Such water forms an insoluble compound with soap, and is hence unfit for washing purposes.

What is tungsten hardness?
According to several publications Tungsten Carbide measures a 9 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. A Diamond measures 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale meaning it would require a diamond to scratch Tungsten Carbide. Tungsten has an official hardness on the Mohs Hardness Scale of 9, but can be as hard as 9.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale making it almost scratch proof. Now if you are talking about pure Tungsten the hardness is only 7.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale making it softer than Sapphire, Ruby, Emerald, Alexandrite, Topaz and Spinel. When Tungsten is compounded into Tungsten Carbide the hardness rises greatly sometimes almost equaling the hardness of Diamonds. Tungsten Carbide is five times harder than 316L Surgical Grade Stainless Steel.
