This video shows the truth behind the myth advertised by many jewelers regarding tungsten carbide jewelry, especially with rings. Tungsten carbide wedding bands are scratched and hammered in this video to demonstrate the real phyical properties of tungsten rings.

the other guy is …
the other guy is right, titanium is an element, an alloy contains two or more metals. Titanium is easier to cut than all types of stainless and most other alloy steels, it has poor impact stregnth and isnt as hard as medium carbon steel, but it has amazing tensile stregnth and weighs 5 gram per cubic mm whereas steel weighs 7.5 to 8. 5, thats its advantage other some other metals.

titanium isn’t an …
titanium isn’t an alloy… its on the periodic table of elements… also do you realize that pure titanium is a brittle white material right?…

Then it’s not …
Then it’s not indestructible, is it?
…And don’t call people names, especially if your point is retarded.

I’m tempted to find a Depleted Uranium ring and send it to them….. see how that stands up to anything they could possibly do to it….

does that include melting it and making a mould?

hey dipshit… …
hey dipshit…Titanium IS an alloy.
true titanium is UNWORKABLE..
ANY METAL DEFORMS UNDER LOAD,how much is dependant upon the hardness of it,it’s ductility,it’s MAILABILITY,and the modus of is elongation. Titanium is actually EASILY bent,but it becomes a VERY good spring,doesnt rust and is an excellent liner material for knives.
read,learn,then spew from your cockholster,after you spit your brother ‘s out of your mouth

If tungsten …
If tungsten couldn’t be shaped, you couldn’t make a ring out of it!

u idiot!…, …
u idiot!…, Titanium is brittle!…. if titanium deforms it means its alloyed with other shit!

actually make that nothing in the universe is indestructible

nothing in the world is indestructible

there is a …
there is a difference between hardness and BRITTLENESS…
tungsten is very..very hard,so is a diamond..but both can shatter on a hard enough force directed upon them.
gold,titanium and other “softer” metals DEFORM or bend,rather then failing catostrophically,like “HARDER” metals do.
considering daily use,I’d want one that will not deform and get stuck on my hand.
I went with a tungsten ring..

WTF this video was …
WTF this video was cool until you advertised that you want me to pay postage so you can hit my ring with a hammer and mail me the pieces back…morons.

I would love to …
I would love to have a tungsten ring on my hand if something heavy fell on it, it would probably hold the object up until I got my hand out!
December 1st, 2009 at 8:07 pm
This video is …
This video is idiotic, Whenever my hand got crushed with such force that it shattered my ring I would be happy that it got shattered! Would you rather go to the hospital and have your finger cut off due to lack of circulation from a ring that is crimped on? When was the last time anybody here raked their hand accidentally across a diamond saw? Come on get real, anything is destructable but these circumstances are unrealistic.

BORING! Check out the “Tungsten Ring vs. Blender” vid.

What do u guys …
What do u guys think of say an alloy that was made up of 50% tungsten and 50% titanium. Wouldn’t that be the ultimate alloy?! I mean titanium is more malleable than tungsten but tungsten has an awesome amount pressure resistance strength. (not sure what the word for that is)

I think the whole …
I think the whole point of any test is to display how Tungsten will withstand the abuse of daily wear and tear. I have a Tungsten ring and it’s perfect after 6 months of abuse….i’d hate to know what it feels like to get hit with a hammer at that degree of force with on my ring finger, so i’ll just be happy with my purchase!

I think one would …
I think one would have to be fairly naive to think ANY material is indestructible. There aren’t any such materials. However, “Unlikely to Sustain Macroscopic Damage Under Average Daily Use Ring” just doesn’t have the same ‘ring’ to it.

Shes right , I took one of my tungsten rings and laid it on the anvil and wacked it with the hammer and on the first shot it went in a million pieces LOL.
