Tungsten (Lat. Wolfram) is a silver-colored metal characterised by exceptional strength, high material density, and heat resistance. Few people know that tungsten is one of the heaviest metals on the planet. It is extremely difficult to work with. The metal is resistant to corrosion and various acids. All of these properties make tungsten an often-chosen material for use in extreme conditions. Tungsten has a melting point of 3410°C and a boiling point of 5660°C.
At first glance, tungsten (chemical symbol W) may appear to be an element rarely encountered in everyday life. However, it is used in a very wide range of applications. As an extremely heat-resistant element, tungsten is used to make both the filaments of light bulbs and the components of electronic devices (such as transistors). Larger quantities of tungsten (on average from 1 to 50 g per piece) are used to make extremely sharp and strong work tools (drills, cutting tools, milling cutters). Tungsten is also used in specific areas such as the manufacture of medical implants and high-temperature industrial furnaces.
