</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Tungsten is a very hard and dense metal and melts at an extraordinary 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit which is the highest melting point of all metals. Tungsten is vulnerable to scratches and damage just like titanium and steel. It does not gain its extreme hardness until it is combined with a carbon alloy, transforming it into tungsten carbide with a hardness between 8.5 and 9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. </span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Tungsten carbide is four times harder than titanium and twice as hard as steel. It is virtually unscratchable and has been widely used in industrial applications such as cutting tools, mining machinery and rocket engine nozzles. As a matter of fact, tungsten carbide rings are the latest craze and obsession in 2010.</span></span><br />
