Are you referring to tungsten carbine jewelry, like wedding rings?

It is possible though difficult to break these - and sometime's it's necessary -- for example if it's on a broken finger that needs surgical attention or X-ray.

Apply compression force around the outside with a Vice or Vise-Grip Pliers. Increase the force until the ring cracks and can be safely removed.

Type of nuclear core of the little boy?

The little boy was a gun-type weapon, so the term "core" in relation to modern implosion weapon pits is not the same. In Little Boy, two subcritical masses of uranium were brought together. The target was a small set of uranium rings. These sat within a heavy target case with tungsten carbide neutron reflector within. The "bullet" was several larger rings backed by a tungsten carbide reflector and a pusher plate, fired down a long artillery barrel by a few bags of cordite. It's possible one or several small mechanical beryllium-polonium neutron generators were inserted into the target used, although not necessary with uranium. When the bullet and target were assembled, the assembly would be completely enclosed inside the tungsten carbide reflector, reflecting neutrons into the now supercritical mass. The weapon then explosively disassembled.


Why is tungsten used in drill tips?

Tungsten carbide is used in drill tips for drilling through concrete etc. The Tungsten carbide is a very hard material almost as hard as diamond. Usually a small piece of TC is brazed onto the end of a drill. An even harder material used in engineering is Boron Nitride BN, and interestingly is found in three allotropes as is carbon; one of these is soft like graphite, one is almost as hard as diamond. Depending on the arrangement of the matrix of atoms.


Material used to manufacture micrometer screw gauge?

What is the examples of hardness?
