About TISTEN - A blend of Tungsten and Titanium (interesting topic!) (1 reply)
Please join and login to participate and leave a comment.
Spikes, a fashion jewelry from the US, released a few years ago a brand new set of rings made of what they call "tisten", a mixture (notice I haven't used the term alloy) of tungsten and titanium, by far the two most popular "rare" metals used today in fashion jewelry, ahead of cobalt-chrome, tantalum and so forth.
So, my question here is simple: does anyone here knows what that is? My guess is that they just added some TiC to their WC powder, prior to the sintering process with either cobalt, nickel and a bit of molybdenum and chromium for extra corrosion resistance. I wish I had a XFR testing device, but I'm afraid there's none in the place I live nor would I be able to use one, and getting one myself is impossible due to their average prices.
Thank you!
