The fact that tungsten will shatter is a pro in my opinion. I’d rather have a ring shatter off of my finger if something we’re to happen rather than bend and clamp down on it. It’s also good in cases of finger swelling. You can try to crack it with a hammer or use vise scripts to apply pressure to it until it breaks off.
Have you worked with the titanium gold alloy that is 99% gold and 1% titanium that they say retains all of the look of 24 karat gold but is durable enough to be practical for jewelry and still reasonable when it comes to forming it into jewelry? If so what would your take on it and are the claims valid or just mostly hypothetical and not practical?
Gold is allways just gunna be a soft metal So its a matter how exposed it is when wearing and if you're fine with the scratches Bracelets and necklaces are generally fine But gold rings really do get scratched often so youll have to be more careful or take it off beforehand when doing something that might damage the ring And remembering not to lose it. Scratches can be buffed out but obviously you lose some material the process
No I haven't but let me share what I know about it because it appears you might have some misinformation. Titanium Gold Alloy is a 3-1 Ratio (3 parts Titanium, 1 part Gold) and not 99% Gold unless there is another version of it which could be possible. Secondly, what amazes me and also in contradiction to what both I thought as did AC4643, I would have thought adding gold would make Titanium softer to some extent but apparently it actually makes the Titanium "Harder". Why? I don't know (I'm a jeweler, not a metallurgist). Definitely something I want to look more into and maybe order some in to mill some bands with and see how they turn out.

Can Tungsten shatter, Yes. Is it "Extremely Brittle", No. In short, Tungsten is the hardest steel known to man at a MOHS rating of 9 (10 being the hardest which is what a Diamond would be given however as you probably know, a diamond can chip just as well). When something reaches such a denseness and can't be bent or has no give in any away (ie being completely ding and scratch resistant), it can break. For instance, Titanium, the second densist steel in the world is extremely hard however despite what many jewelers may tell you, can be resized (as a ring). I do it all the time for my customers because it bends. It's extremely hard, takes very hot temperatures and special equipment but can be done and won't break "up to a point" (there is what is known as "tensile strength" which is how it's measured for that MOHS rating where something is bent under great pressure to figure out how strong it is. Tungsten as you pointed out will not bend so basically you can put it under great pressure and it simply goes from unbendible to shattering at a specific point. This is also what makes it so well loved by the medical field, contractors, machinests, etc. Doctors will tell you that if you wear a ring (which you shouldn't) while working around machinery that you should choose Tungsten over Titanium or anything else. The reason is if you get your finger caught in the machinery, Titanium would just bend and squash your finger where it may need to be amputated by an EMT team to get you free. On the opposite side is Tungsten which if your finger was caught, all you need to do is grab anything hard near by such as a screwdriver, wrench, hammer, or other and give it a fast hit and it'll shatter off your finger allowing you to free your own hand without losing a finger. So yes, it can and will shatter if hit with a hard object but at the same time is the strongest steel in the world and nothing else like it is as scratch and ding proof as tungsten! Hope that helps.

Do you mean "Tungsten vs Titanium (Which is better for a ring?" It simply means that, if you ever wondered which metal was better for you specifically between the two commonly used metals, I just posted a video explaining the difference to help you out 🤔😁😃
Hey JT, thanks although it wasn't so much about the rings being shown but rather an educational video to help people decide between Tungsten or Titanium. Great hearing from you again and hope business is going great for you!
@Mr. Pokhrel Although I love science and excelled at it in my early years, I won't proclaim to be a doctor to have a detailed explanation but can give you a more simplistic explanation of what you are hearing. All metals whether they be gold, silver, copper, etc etc all can have a very minute amount of toxin. This could be by means of the metal itself or by means of its delivery method like plating. Plating, for instance, often has cyanide in it and such which is used to hold the precious metal in suspension before plating through electrolysis but to address your concerns, it is all washed away to the point of any detectable level otherwise it would be illegal to make as an item for resell. Think of it this way, many items such as ruthenium originate from plutonium and is sold openly at all major retailers like Jared Jewelers, Zelles, etc because if it had any real impact on your wellbeing or health, they would be held financially responsible for reselling an unsafe product and they would all be out of business. The worse thing you really have to worry about is allergies which are typically for most originate from nickel or copper. Tungsten, Titanium, and Stainless Steel are all very safe and typically the most sought after by those worried about any metal concern.
@@BlokeBritish Tungsten is the metal I prefer for myself. Yes it has a very nice silver shine to it and I love the weight in comparison to titanium which I feel is too light for me. I like to feel my ring but that's me.

I agree, plus (at least as a man) I prefer the heavier weight of Tungsten over the extremely light Titanium but that's just my personal preference.
Very interesting, I like this video Michael! Howard M.😀🤟🤘👍👍

Isn't Tungsten extremely brittle?
