What is different between tungsten steel, stainless steel and titanium?

There are many materials for jewelries, not matter for men or women, like s925 silver, real gold, ceramic, wood, stainless steel, titanium, and tungsten carbide. I think many people will be strange that what is different from tungsten steel, stainless steel and titanium? Here let us distinguish tungsten steel, stainless steel and titanium steel, we must start with stainless steel.

Stainless steel: as we all know, the iron and carbon alloy with carbon content less than 2.11% is called ordinary carbon steel, which is generally exposed to the air and is easy to be oxidized, rusted and formed holes. Stainless steel is a kind of high alloy steel which can resist corrosion in air or chemical corrosion medium. Because stainless steel contains chromium, it forms a very thin chromium film on the surface, which is separated from the oxygen invading into the steel and plays a role of corrosion resistance. In order to maintain the inherent corrosion resistance of stainless steel, the steel must contain more than 12% chromium.

Tungsten steel: tungsten steel is another kind of high-tech product pursued by mass buyers after space ceramics. Tungsten itself, like other metals such as titanium, is very fragile and easy to be scratched. Only when it is combined with carbon alloy, it becomes the tungsten steel we see. The symbol is (WC). The hardness of tungsten steel is generally in the level of 8.5-9.5. The hardness of tungsten steel is four times that of titanium and two times that of steel. So it’s basically zero scratch. Tungsten steel is very popular with consumers. The hardness of this material is close to that of natural diamond, so it is not easy to wear.

It’s hard for the naked eye to tell the difference between them, but when you really wear them, the texture will be different. The texture of tungsten steel will be better.
