Wedding Rings For Men - Tungsten Carbide Rings

Let's face it, your man isn't exactly the Prince Charming on a white horse that you had once envisioned as a small girl. He's the type that buys you an office chair or a microwave as a gift, he thinks flowers are a waste because they die. But when all is said and done, you still love him and you always will.

With men like this, it is no wonder that Tungsten Carbide rings are the latest development in the world of matrimonial bliss. This extremely strong and brawny chemical compound is the way to go when shopping for wedding rings for the manliest of men. I mean, lets face it, he's never worn a piece of jewelry before in his life, and he's not all that excited to start now.

So here are some handy facts about Tungsten Carbide that you can point out to the man-piece in your life, to soften the jewelry-wearing blow...

Its extreme hardness (insert manly roar here) makes it useful in the manufacture of cutting tools, abrasives and bearings, as a cheaper and more heat-resistant alternative to diamond.
Tungsten carbide is used for jewelry because it is scratch-resistant, and thus, you will never have to waste money on "stupid jewelry" again, except occasionally for me.
Carbide is also used as the cutting surface when slicing through materials such as carbon steel or stainless steel, because it is "so dang strong" and it can withstand higher temperatures than standard high speed steel tools.
Tungsten carbide is often used in armor-piercing ammunition...ouch!
Tungsten carbide ammunition can be of the sabot type or subcaliber ammunition (don't ask me what this means).
Tungsten carbide is an effective neutron reflector. In fact, it was used during early investigations into nuclear chain reactions, particularly for weapons. Back on August 21, 1945, at the Los Alamos National Laboratory, a scientist accidentally dropped a tungsten carbide brick onto a plutonium sphere, which caused the sub-critical mass to go critical with the reflected neutrons. Tungsten carbide = mass explosions, which are very manly.
Hard carbides, especially tungsten carbide, are used by athletes, generally on poles which impact hard surfaces - for instance, Trekking poles. Some bicycle tire manufacturers offer tires with tungsten carbide studs for better traction on ice.
Mademoiselle Jewelry's featured ring (pictured below) is a measly $51, which will leave him lots of leftover cash to spend on more important things - such as sports cars, hefty steak dinners, and of course, video games.

Here's to the Manliest of Men!
