At Tungsten Titans, we use IP (Ion Plating) - an advanced form of PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) - to create bold, long-lasting colour finishes on our tungsten rings.
IP Plating (PVD Coating) on Tungsten Rings
Advanced Colour Technology by Tungsten Titans
What is IP / PVD Plating?
PVD is a modern coating process where metal is turned into vapor and bonded to a surface in a vacuum environment.
IP plating (Ion Plating) is a more advanced version of this process. It uses electrically charged particles to create an even stronger, more durable bond with the metal.
๐ In simple terms:
PVD is the technology - IP plating is the premium upgrade.
You may see both terms used when shopping for tungsten rings.
PVD = the general coating process
IP (Ion Plating) = a more advanced, higher-performance version of PVD
๐ All IP plating is PVD, but not all PVD is IP plating.
At Tungsten Titans, we use IP plating for maximum durability and quality.
- The tungsten ring is placed in a vacuum chamber
- A coating material (like titanium) is vaporized
- The particles are ionized (electrically charged)
- These ions are accelerated onto the ringโs surface
- The coating bonds at a molecular level
The result is a thin, incredibly tough coloured layer that becomes part of the ring - not just a surface coating.
IP plating is extremely durable, but like all finishes, it can wear over time with heavy use or harsh conditions.
However, compared to traditional plating:
- It lasts significantly longer
- It resists fading and chipping
- It maintains its colour far better
With normal wear, your Tungsten Titans ring will keep its look for years.
If youโre looking for a ring that combines extreme durability with standout style, IP-plated tungsten is the perfect choice.
Why Tungsten Titans Uses IP Plating
Tungsten is one of the hardest metals on earth, but it naturally comes in a silver-grey colour. To achieve modern finishes like black, gold, or blue, a high-performance coating is required.
Thatโs why we use IP plating instead of standard PVD or traditional plating methods.
Benefits of IP Plating on Tungsten Rings
IP plating creates a stronger bond than standard PVD, making it more resistant to wear.
Our rings maintain their colour for years without fading or peeling.
While no coating is completely scratch-proof, IP plating is among the most durable options available.
The finish is smoother, more even, and more refined.
Our coatings are skin-friendly and suitable for everyday wear.

Frequently Asked Questions About IP / PVD Tungsten Rings
What is IP plating on tungsten rings?
IP (Ion Plating) is an advanced coating process used to add colour to tungsten rings. It is a type of PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) that uses electrically charged particles to create a strong, long-lasting bond with the metal surface.
Is IP plating the same as PVD?
Not exactly.PVD is the general coating process, while IP plating is a more advanced version of PVD that creates a stronger, more durable finish.
Do IP-plated tungsten rings scratch?
Tungsten itself is highly scratch-resistant, but the IP-plated surface can still show wear over time with heavy use. However, IP plating is much more durable than traditional coatings and resists scratching better than most alternatives.
Will the colour fade or wear off?
IP plating is designed to last for years. While it can eventually wear with heavy use or harsh conditions, it holds its colour far longer than standard plating and does not peel or flake.
Why are tungsten rings coated instead of solid colour?
Tungsten naturally has a silver-gray colour and cannot be easily dyed or anodized. IP plating is used to add durable colours like black, gold, or blue without compromising the strength of the ring.
Are IP-plated tungsten rings safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. IP plating is typically hypoallergenic and safe for everyday wear, making it a great option for people with sensitive skin.
