Tungsten Carbide was HSR’s first product. We sometimes confuse buyers with our company name- Tungsten is a Swedish word which literally means “heavy stone.” Tungsten is the hardest, most scratch resistant material on the market. We offer Tungsten in its natural color, which is a dark gun metal gray. Tungsten is alloyed with a nickel base to offer the permanent high polish finish. When purchasing a Tungsten band, be sure to buy from a reputable manufacturer, because there are a lot of quality control issues with overseas Tungsten producers. Tungsten, like Vitalium- has limitations on capabilities because of its hardness. Tungsten can be removed with vice-grips in case of emergency. Tungsten carbide is often used in tooling and grinding.
