Tungsten-gold is one of the hardest metal materials in the world, with a hardness of 8-9m (Mohs hardness standard), second only to diamond (10M). Tungsten alloy used in industrial field is usually called tungsten steel. Later, the tungsten alloy material developed for jewelry making in fashion field was called "tungsten gold".

Tungsten gold and tungsten steel are both tungsten alloys, but there are many differences: the tungsten content of tungsten gold is much higher than that of tungsten steel; The hardness of tungsten gold and steel is the same as that of diamond, but the special formula of tungsten gold avoids the brittleness of tungsten steel. Moreover, the luster of tungsten gold is far superior to that of tungsten steel, even surpassing all known metals on the earth.

Type:

First, white tungsten gold

White tungsten gold, also known as platinum plating on tungsten gold, is made by putting the formed tungsten gold jewelry and platinum powder into a 3000-degree high-temperature furnace and slowly dissolving the platinum powder into the tungsten gold jewelry in a vacuum environment, so that the tungsten gold jewelry can obtain good comprehensive performance in a vacuum environment.

Second, soft tungsten gold

Soft tungsten gold refers to tungsten bars with a tungsten content of about 18% and a gold content of more than 80%. Because of its high gold content, its value or market price is much higher than that of tungsten-gold plating. Soft tungsten gold is mainly gold, with a small amount of tungsten added, so it is actually a gold alloy.

Although soft tungsten gold is similar to gold, its main purpose is only to satisfy the hobby of many collectors or friends using souvenirs. It can't replace the value of gold.
