The chemical element with the highest melting point is tungsten (also: Wolfram - Symbol W), at 3695 K (3422 °C, 6192 °F).
It is a very hard, heavy, steel-gray to white transition metal, tungsten is found in several ores including wolframite and scheelite and is remarkable for its robust physical properties, especially the fact that it has a higher melting point than any other non-alloy in existence.
The often-cited carbon does not melt at ambient pressure but sublimates at about 4000 K; a liquid phase only exists above pressures of 10 MPa and estimated 4300–4700 K.
The thing is Tungsten boiling point is higher (5660) than the Carbon's (4827)

Just a guess- titanium?
I see that it is, in fact, carbon. At least of the natural elements.

**Carbon - highest melting point of any ELEMENT**
Tungston - highest melting point of any metal
