Hello,I have been thinking about buying a Tungsten Carbide Diamond wedding band for my husband but one of my family members keep telling me that Tungsten Carbide is merely steel and hence, a low quality metal, therefore, I shouldn't buy it. I don't really know much about it. Please if anyone can tell me more about this metal? Thanks.
Edmond, a laser doesn't scratch anything, it melts. We're talking physical properties, not plasma properties. At NORMAL temperatures of 70-90 degrees F. If you don't understand the question, quit answering. Id imagine tungsten carbide can scratch itself. Much like an ape. :) - The Gremlin Guy -
Tungsten is not steel. Tungsten is a chemical element. What they do is add an alloy mixture to tungsten and it turns into Tungsten Carbide. You want to find a ring with a nickel alloy, some manufacturers cheap out and add cobalt instead. Make sure the ring you buy does not contain cobalt. Steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron, with a carbon.
