Titanium does not bend like the first ring did...... it wasnt pure Titanium!

I want to see a pure Tungsten ring put through this kind of punishment!

Shaggy - who in the world is going to shoot their wedding band??

@AdanRules66 i know you commented 5 months ago... but just to let you know. People working around heavy machines and equipment run the risk of cutting there finger off. droping heavy weight on a traditional ring will bend it - cutting your finger off instead of just crushing it

Very COOL TESTS.

Black Ti (used by edward mirell) from titanium-jewelry has a high percent of zirconium in order for them to make it black. The black is not a coating but an oxide layer. The percent of zirconium is about 30%. The ring that just got squished was probably made of CP grade. A tungsten ring would have just shattered into many pieces.

tungsten carbide rings are way better and more resistant

Titanium 6.6.2 is used (6Al/6V/2Sn). It is composed of 86% titanium, 6% aluminum, 6% vanadium, 2% tin. This is practically the strongest titanium alloy on the market and is mainly used in the aerospace industry for its great strength and lightweight. Titanium 6.6.2 has a tensile strength of up to 180,000 psi and a Brinell hardness value of 389.

Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strength of about 63,000 psi (434 MPa)

Titanium 6.4 (6Al/4V). It is composed of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium. Titanium 6.4 was developed in the 1950's and is known as aircraft grade titanium. Aircraft grade titanium has a tensile strength of up to 150,000 psi (pounds per square inch) and a Brinell hardness value of 330.

not pureest, pure titanium is softer than 6-6-2

there are 2different grade of titanium

1) 6-4 Aircraft grade titanium

2) 6-6-2 Aircraft grade titanium

[marek0086]

is 662 the purest u can get?

[aesops52220]

i think they use 6-6-2 Aircraft grade titanium, the hardest you can get

"...traditionally a metal's strength or "Toughness" refers to how soft it is, and therefore break-resistant. " from my post.

Traditionally, in metallurgy, the term "tough" is used to describe softness, and therefore break resistance, malleability, ductility, the ability to resist metallurgical fatigue.

I guess by that same definition you could make the argument that Mercury is tough, but I'm sure that would just pass with a chuckle at best given that liquids are not usually ascribed toughness.
