Ring having improved weight, durability, damage resistance, shine and workability features
A ring and method of manufacturing a ring which may include: an outer ring, in which a second carbide composed of a combination of tungsten carbide, iron group carbide or carbonitride is mixed with a metal binder phase at a predetermined ratio, in which the outer ring is divided into a first outer ring and a second outer ring formed in a shape corresponding to each other; an inner ring separately and/or independently assembled between the first and second outer rings, in which the inner ring includes an outside inner ring that forms an outer circumferential surface of the ring and an inside inner ring that forms an inner circumferential surface of the ring; ring fitting parts formed on the first and second outer rings, respectively, such that both sides of the outer and inside inner rings are press-fit; and assembling protrusions formed on the first and second outer rings, respectively, to be inserted into the outer circumferential surface of the inside inner ring to maintain a firm assembly between the outer ring and the inner ring for a long period of time.
1. A ring comprising:
an outer ring, wherein the outer ring comprises tungsten carbide and a second carbide composed of a iron group carbide or carbonitride mixed with a metal binder phase at a predetermined ratio, wherein the outer ring is divided into a first outer ring and a second outer ring formed in a shape corresponding to each other;
an inner ring between the first and second outer rings, wherein the inner ring comprises an outside inner ring that forms an outer circumferential surface of the ring and an inside inner ring that forms an inner circumferential surface of the ring, the inside inner ring defining an outside circumferential surface, wherein the inside inner ring includes an assembling groove on the outer circumferential surface;
ring fitting parts formed on the first and second outer rings, respectively, the ring fitting parts comprising an upper fitting part to which the outside inner ring is coupled and a lower fitting part to which the inside inner ring is coupled; and
assembling protrusions formed on the first and second outer rings, respectively, the assembling protrusions being inserted into the assembling groove on the outer circumferential surface of the inside inner ring, and wherein the outside inner ring is composed of either of surgical titanium or gold, or a mixture of both the surgical titanium and gold at a predetermined amount.
2. The ring according to claim 1 , further comprising a chamfered portion formed on an outer circumferential surface of the outer ring, the chamfered portion having an angle of 30 to 50° , and a plurality of decorative grooves configured at a predetermined spacing along a circumferential surface.
3. The ring according to claim 1 wherein the assembling groove comprises first and second assembling grooves formed on the outer circumferential surface of the inside inner ring in a shape corresponding to the assembling protrusions to receive the assembling protrusions inserted therein.
4. The ring according to claim 1 , wherein the outer ring is formed with a composition ratio of, based on a total weight thereof, 10 wt % to 49 wt % of tungsten carbide, 35 wt % to 60 wt % of a second carbide composed of carbides or carbonitrides of 4a, 5a and 6a iron group elements of the periodic table, and 10 wt % to 30 wt % of nickel or stainless alloy metal binder phase.
5. The ring according to claim 1 , wherein the inside inner ring is composed of either of surgical stainless steel or gold, or a mixture of both the surgical stainless steel and gold at a predetermined amount.
