DURA TUNGSTEN * TITANIUM * CERAMIC * STAINLESS STEEL * COBALT CHROMIUM
Dura Tungsten Bands
Chisel Dura Tungsten bands are created by adding titanium to the tungsten
composition, making the ring 27% lighter and less brittle while still remaining
scratch and tarnish proof. The Dura Tungsten band was developed in 2006.
Patent was pending USPTO 12,141,791 was granted and published in
December 2009 worldwide. Unlike titanium, there are no “grades” of Tungsten.
The tungsten rings we sell are Dura Tungsten and are, to date, the hardest
substance used in making rings. Tungsten carbide bands are a natural choice
for men who want a resilient metal that shows little signs of wear. Why should
you consider Dura Tungsten as your choice for tungsten wedding bands?
- Less brittle when compared to traditional tungsten carbide wedding bands
- 27% lighter than traditional tungsten carbide wedding bands, appeals to women
- Scratchproof
- Will not tarnish
Chisel Dura Tungsten bands requires little care. These Wedding Bands are
Semi-Comfort-Fit design for easy of use. Rubbing with any clean cloth will
restore the original bright finish for decades to come. Note: Buyer beware for
copies of Chisel style wedding bands on the market.
The formula we use for Dura Tungsten Bands are as followed:
Tungsten 45%
Titanium 20%
Chromium 2% for shine
Nickel 20% for color
7% carbon
6% Molybdenum
Traces of Iron and Cobalt as binders.
Titanium Bands
Titanium is a superior metal for jewelry simply because it will never tarnish, and
it is 100% compatible with the human body, not producing allergic reactions,
skin irritations or discoloration of any sort, making it the ideal metal for those
with sensitive skin (Chisel Titanium Wedding Bands are Semi-Comfort-fit).
This is true for all grades of titanium. We work primarily with Ti-6/4 Aircraft
Grade Titanium. It has a much greater hardness than the basic grade
(CP4 – Commercial Pure Titanium, grade 4) titanium, not to mention
traditional jewelry metals. The other grade (Ti-6/6/2 – Extra-hard titanium) is
also used.
Introducing the new Black Ti™ Titanium Wedding Bands, presented by Chisel Each piece in the Black Ti™ collection possess the same benefit to the consumer as Grey Titanium, however it provides a rich, clean and distinctive Black look to the metal that will not chip away and is not "applied" coating.
- Designs are created with titanium certified with a purity exceeding 99%
- This element is not only hypoallergenic, it is extraordinarily biocompatible, etc.
- Black Ti™ was created through extensive research and development in blending titanium with other strategic elements.
- Black Ti™ is a proprietary alloy which miraculously experiences an atomic transformation at the molecular level to become ceramic hard turning the titanium black from the outside in by exposing the element to extreme heat.
- The severe hard attribute created through this unique and exciting process yields a supremely scratch resistant surface in the Black Ti™ pieces.
Ceramic Rings & Watches
Ceramic rings and watches have the same basic hardness and durability as the
Tungsten rings and both have a greater hardness than Titanium. This does not
mean they will never exhibit wear and tear at some point. It simply means they
are a durable and long lasting item, under normal wear (Chisel Ceramic
Wedding Bands are Semi Comfort-fit bands). Ceramic metal is far beyond
anything like the heated glass of ceramic glass, although it is the same basic
process. This ceramic is used in things like the new F-22 Raptor Attack jet,
the ATF (Advanced Tactical Fighter) and on the space station. Titanium
and Stainless Steel are softer metals and they will scratch and show signs of
wear with time. This wear is not a defect in manufacturing.
Stainless Steel
316L Stainless, "L" stands for Low Carbon. If any class of steel truly deserves to
be called surgical stainless steel, it is these "L" class derivatives of 316 steel. It never
developes surface rust and is even resistant to constant salt water exposure.
It is easily personalized with your engraved sentiment. Titanium and Stainless Steel
are softer metals and they will scratch and show signs of wear with time. This wear
is not a defect in manufacturing.
IP PLATING Many items in this jewelry collection have been plated in colors such
as gold, black, rose, and chocolate brown. This IP plating is a specialized process
which fuses the color to the base metal in a vacuum environment. The IP plating
actually becomes a part of the metal, ensuring a hard, durable finish and beautify
that will last. These wedding bands are also Semi-Comfort fit.
COBALT CHROMIUM BANDS
Cobalt Chromium Rings and Wedding Bands offer a new element to the alternative
metal industry. Its platinum-look differentiates it from both tungsten and titanium.
Cobalt is very scratch resistant and it is more scratch resistant than titanium, but
not quite as hard as tungsten. Cobalt bands will not chip or crack. It is light-weight
and hypoallergenic metal.
