Indestructable Tungsten Jewelry Rings - Myth or Reality

[titaniumvstungsten]

lol nice

[nitojae007]

will it blend?that is the big question

[shrek87camaro]

I had a tungsten carbide ring for less than two weeks. It was a carbon fibered inlay one made by Triton retailing for $450.00. I accidentally dropped it at work in the bathroom when cleaning it, and it cracked completely through it!! watch the Scott Kay Video's. Lots of proof!!!!

[RNDMUSRNM123]

thats a waste of gold!

[VicariousReality7]

I hate advertisments

[Mannetti21]

So let me get this straight...I send you my Tungsten carbide ring, you smash it with a hammer just like you did in the video, and then you send the results/pieces back to me in the mail? What the hell kind of "challenge" is that? LOL

[oldschooldrumcorps]

My jewelry company sells Tungsten carbide rings, Titanium rings, stainless steel and other exotic materials not formerly associated with jewelry. We don't tell any of our customers that Tungsten is "indestructable". We do say that it is scratch "Resistant", will not bend, but we do state it can shatter, and explain why. We also dispell the myth about not being able to remove the ring in an emergency, and explain how that's done. Because we're up front and honest, we get many sales and repeats.

[dmbfan07cb]

So we send you a ring and you hit it with a hammer? lol anyone can do that

[Ryu7031]

OK' so with two objects equally denser than Tungsten Carbide' the ring can easily be broken by crushing it.

So please tell me since the human hand is nowhere near the density off the ring' if while wearing the ring your hand was struck with a hammer would the ring even be damaged?

Also what if you'd falling over outside and hit the ring against the concrete' would the ring shatter or would your finger take the force and leave you with a nice imprint on your finger and a broken finger? thanks

[DetectorKid]

I doubt anyone would hit their ring with a hammer on any surface

[Xephirox900]

/isnt tungsten found in lightbulbs

[cocacola443]

@Xephirox900 Yes, tungsten is used in the filament of incandescent light bulbs, as it has a VERY high melting point (I think it's the highest of any metal...over 6,000 degree Fahrenheit, or something crazy like that). The filament emits light by getting very hot through its resistance to the electric current passing through it, causing it to glow. Other metals would melt at the temperatures that the filament is subjected to.

[taliban0king]

My dick is indestructable, you wana test that? :D

[aznkriss133]

i don't know who would be stupid enough to believe that tungsten rings are indestructible. i mean really they are just much tougher than most things but destructible

[uzerofutube]

Tungsten carbide is brittle like glass, the harder the element the brittler, the softer the more ductile, knew that a long time ago.

[NeoQuello]

does this also apply to Tungsten Carbide rings...

[lumabi25]

Thanks for this useful information. It brings balance to the claims. A watch I'm about to purchase has its case and bracelet made of tungsten carbide, though I'm not worried because if I was to damage the case in any way I'm sure the movement would suffer first.

[ChrisRiley93]

NOTHING is indestructible.

[bendvis]

I had a tungsten ring break in day to day use. I was shaking my hands after washing them to remove water, and the ring flew off, struck a ceramic tile on the ground, and a V shaped chunk was taken out of the ring, across it's entire 9mm width. Unfortunately, a certain manufacturer named after a greek god refused to replace the ring.

[StellarBlue1]

Gee Lady, how much for that pretty blue background? Where did you get you glasses, Magoos?

[b4rr0s]

Love how they show you the Tungsten ring breaking when on a metal block and being struck with a hammer...as if thats a normal scenario!

[sylvanenergy]

Now thats a good piece, thanks for giving me a chuckle

[1ohtaf1]

@gulllars So if i went to a manufacturer and told them to make a Depleted Uranium ring, they wouldnt suspect it to be a joke? Seems very far fetched to me

[1ohtaf1]

@gulllars Actually it is not hard to tell if you are at all smart, if you need "markers" or the person telling you its a joke after they said it then you are strange hopeless person with no sense of humour.

[1ohtaf1]

@gulllars Im sorry but it seems to me that you failed to see i was joking.

[1ohtaf1]

@gulllars an electron is indestructable.

[1ohtaf1]

What about a Depleted Uranium ring?

[hcoll]

nice video

[rubiknerd11]

easiest way to completely destroy a tungsten ring is to just simply drop it on a tile floor it will shatter every time

[meandmyevo]

wtf?? by "drop", do you mean fire at the speed of sound? I've put my ring through hell and it's never shattered.

[icantdrive65]

Nothing is indestructible. I think with a little intelligence we can see that the indestructible claim is relative to the alternatives.

[verock16]

you are right thats what I tought

when I first started looking at this video

it is a very smart comment!!!

[nametroubles]

I like the scratches on my gold wedding band. It signifies the passage of time.

[smalldude55]

i love my tungsten ring!

[StaticFrictionAE]

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....

[ironDsteele]

Ya cause I'm going to mail you a peice of jewellry so you can break it and send it back? Ur fucking kidding right?

[emel60]

make knives from that shit!

[tomguelph]

nothing in the world is indestructible

[tomguelph]

actually make that nothing in the universe is indestructible

[1ohtaf1]

@tomguelph An electron is indestructable...

[gulllars]

@1ohtaf1 No it isn't ;)

You can anihilate it with a positron, at wich point you get a lot of energy in the form of a photon and (possibly?) some other elementary particle(s).

[UdallIn72]

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

[tomguelph]

does that include melting it and making a mould?

[UdallIn72]

I haven't decided. Probably.

[taliban0king]

Thats why its forged like that.

fresh outa the mold and on ur hand

[l3l4ck0utn3grito1]

@taliban0king if it comes out of a mold, its CAST. if its FORGED, it means its shaped by hand as it cools and is still red hot.

[xXxwhitetiger]

you have to heat it up dumb ass like all other metals

[UdallIn72]

Then it's not indestructible, is it?

...And don't call people names, especially if your point is retarded.

[nature223]

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..

[marek0086]

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

[nature223]

hey dipshit...Titanium IS an alloy.

true titanium is fucking 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 shit from your cockholster,after you spit your brother 's cock out of your mouth

[bdragun]

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?...

[neogastropoda1]

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.

[hihunglo]

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!

[hihunglo]

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.

[zeke01370]

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)

[Smoto72]

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!

[userjjb]

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.

[Taz0161]

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.

[AZURA888]

Tungsten is stronger than titanium. Maybe titanium carbide.

[darkbyte23]

What can you say about the Titanum Challenge by titaniumchallenge

[TitaniumKay]

From what we've learned, we believe that the Titanium Challenge was done by the same company who tries to promote their own rings. In my opinion, extremely bias attitude.

[vincent112607]

very informative
