# metallic luster (Hydrogen not at all) # malleability (tungsten not so much) # oxidizes (Gold not so much) # Conducts electricity. # Forms ionic compounds soluble in a polar solvent (huge variations here)


Are tungsten rings strong or brittle?

Tungsten Carbide is a metal which is heavy-duty. This metal is usually used in parts of Oil rigs. It is really heavy and tough, almost as tough as titanium. The only difference between these two metals is that when you where a Titanium Ring it feels like feather, because of it's light weight. However, Tungsten Carbide is very heavy, and this you would definitely feel the ring on your finger. The purity of 99.98 industry tungsten metal(for rod, twisted wire and filament) is true brittle and easy to fracture. But for the tungsten jewelry like rings, pendants, bracelets and watches should not use the tungsten carbide alloy insead of pure tungsten. There contain 85.7% tungsten carbide and others should be titanium and so on. Tungsten carbide do not like the pure tungsten, it own a silver luster but much more shiny and bright. It's the hardest metal on the planet and do not brittle, the most famouse processing for tungsten carbide ring are the permanent polish. For the extremly hardness of tungsten carbide, jewelry it's polish shiny will keep a much longer period than other metals and define as permanent polish.
