Is it OK for your ultrasonic cleaner?

Tungsten carbide

Yes
Check first
No

Tungsten carbide is very hard and handles ultrasonic cleaning – inlays do not always.

Updated from your answers.

A few questions to be sure

Does the ring have an inlay (wood, carbon fiber, opal, horn)?
Is the ring black or coloured?

How to do it

Time
3 min
Water
Lukewarm, 30–40 °C

One or two drops of mild, unscented dish soap. Rinse in clean water and dry with the microfiber cloth.

With these answers we do not recommend the ultrasonic cleaner, so there is no how-to.

Pick your cleaner to see if it fits, which setting to use and what its manual says.

Why

The material is extremely hard and does not corrode in ordinary water. Many rings have inlays of wood, carbon fiber or opal, or a black coating, and these do not always withstand water and vibration.

Watch out for

  • Inlays of wood, carbon fiber or stone – see the material in question
  • Black tungsten is often coated
