Tungsten Cube - 3.81 cm (1.5 inch) - 1 kg

Product Information

There are a lot of factors that work in conjunction to make tungsten cubes so popular. They are durable and incredibly resistant to heat. People have been able to drop these cubes from heights of over 40 meters, only to see that it does not have a single scratch on them. Now that we have discussed what makes these tungsten cubes special and their interesting properties, let’s talk about what exactly made these tungsten cubes a big deal all of the sudden.

With a mass density higher than lead and the highest tensile strength of any elemental metal, tungsten can shrug off use and abuse which would boil titanium. Our 50mm, 99.95%-pure solid tungsten cubes have a beefy mass of 2.3 kilograms and are the biggest size we offer. By comparison, our 50mm lead reference of comparable purity masses only a 1.4-kilo cube, while an aluminum cube of 50mm per side is only 337.5g, or less than ¾ of a pound! A tungsten sphere is a sintered ball which has a band around one diameter; a feature of the molding tool. Like we said, we’re almost, if not completely, a virtual world now. Almost everything we have and do has become intangible. While this aspect has its own benefits and appeal, there comes a time when humans crave a substantial, solid force in their lives. Finally, mention the first cube is made of magnesium and weighs a half pound, and the second cube is made of tungsten and weighs over five pounds. This is because tungsten cubes are a fun, interesting, and stimulating way to demonstrate how density works.

Cubers can pay with crypto

TPW’s tungsten cubes are unique in their appearance. Sharper corners, square faces, and a high degree of uniformity are just some of the outstanding features that we are proud to deliver to our customers. Comprising of a highly durable metal, with one of the highest melting points in any element you will find, tungsten is a wonder in itself. Its incredible hardness too, second after that of diamond, along with its melting point make it beneficial for a range of processes across industries.

Metal prices vary in general depending on a number of factors such as availability of the materials, supply, and demand. Why are tungsten cubes so expensive?Polished tungsten alloy cubes are typically machined from aerospace grade tungsten and are a great addition to your classroom, office, or collection. However, a tungsten machining shop is offering the worlds largest tungsten cube at 14.55 inches and weighing in around 2000 pounds (1 ton). There are a number of uses for tungsten cubes, but the most common reason people buy tungsten cubes are for:

For example, let’s use the “cube comparison experiment” which is a simple and effective way to teach a student about density. A 2″ cube is more than double the weight of a 1″ cube, yet a 3″ cube is over 3x’s the weight of a 2″ cube. Moreover, its heat-resistance quality makes it useful in arc welding applications when mixed with other highly-conductive metals like copper and silver. In other words, silver and copper also play a role in providing necessary conductivity, and the tungsten enables the welding rod to stay firm against the high temperature of the arc welding.

Cubers be cubing

A lot of the early hype and rising sales for companies came through the crypto community. People eventually realized that it was just a rumor, but that did nothing to quell the hype. Instead, there were now other factors fueling the original hype. Now that people had their hands on this rare metal, they wanted to test out how strong it was. One of the main applications of tungsten steel is producing hard permanent magnets because of its high coercivity. Metal and alloy’s magnetic properties are highly responsive to microstructure. For him, the cube is representation of a past life, a distant memory and a reconnection with physical sensation. His sentiments echo those of the many others from the metaverse, which is not a rapidly expanding community. The congregations gathered here seek tungsten cubes in hopes of experiencing a refreshing touch of the past, a heavy cube that uses its sheer density to delight their senses.
