Because of this, tungsten steel products ( such as tungsten steel watches) have the characteristic of wear resistance. 

There are two kinds of understandings about tungsten steel:

In early days, hard alloy was called tungsten alloy in the mainland. After 1960s, alloy with high density or the called high gravity alloy was researched and developed.

After 1980s, with the investment of Taiwan enterprises in the mainland, tungsten alloy was called tungsten steel by Taiwan began to be popular in the mainland. So tungsten steel refers to steel products which contains tungsten or tungsten alloy.

Tungsten steel belongs to the hard alloy and  also known as tungsten titanium alloy. Tungsten steel is commonly used in the lathe tool, shot drill bits, glass cutter head, ceramic tile cutter. Tungsten steel is hard and is not afraid of annealing, but the tungsten steel is brittle. Tungsten steel belongs to the rare metal.
