It may not be obvious at low ounces like 3.8oz. Its grade is indicated by the prefix YG (standing for hard and cobalt in Chinese Pinyin) and the average percentage of cobalt content. different metals interact in different situations.

Carbide is widely used as a material in tools such as turning tools, milling tools, drills, and boring tools, and the cutting speed of this new type of hard alloy is hundreds of times faster than that of carbon steel. Especially the weight of objects that people don't usually think about weighing. As mentioned, tungsten is much harder than lead, and 1.7 times denser than lead which gives you more sensitivity than lead. 1RcsI40kgWSAo/qRxsWhROdWVI/5iKtir0X8o/NHkjU/0rZeVdJvtNCzfX9RN6tfUmuvhEvqGafn These are sometimes referred to as tungsten high speed steel.In some cases, high speed steel refers specifically to the molybdenum series of HSS. /lB+XU8lm9xo4uPqEUcFrHNPcSxrFCapGY3kZGTc1VgQ1TWtcVeaXWk3dvpmqXH+DZZtWU299pwh There are a variety of high speed steel grades including molybdenum and tungsten series alloys.
