What do we use tungsten for?

Answer 1

Tungsten is useful for glass-to-metal seals since the thermal expansion is about the same as borosilicate glass
tungsten and its alloys are used extensively for filaments for electric lamps, electron and television tubes, and for metal evaporation work
electrical contact points for car distributors
X-ray targets
windings and heating elements for electrical furnaces
missile and high-temperature applications
high-speed tool steels and many other alloys contain tungsten
the carbide is important to the metal-working, mining, and petroleum industries
calcium and magnesium tungstates are widely used in fluorescent lighting
tungsten salts are used in the chemical and tanning industries
tungsten disulphide is a dry, high-temperature lubricant, stable to 500°C
tungsten bronze and other tungsten compounds are used in paints
TV tubes (electron tubes)
Nozzles for the rockets engines, for example, are made from tungsten steel.

Tungsten Uses

Answer 4

Tungsten (IPA: /ˈtʊŋstən/), also called wolfram (IPA: /ˈwʊlfrəm, -am/) is a chemical element that has the symbol W (New Latin: wolframium) and atomic number 74. 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 the highest melting point of all the non-alloyed metals and the second highest of all the elements after carbon. The pure form is used mainly in electrical applications but its many compounds and alloys are widely used in many applications (most notably in light bulb filaments, and as both the filament and target in most X-ray tubes and in superalloys).

Answer 5

It's absolutely true that they are so indestructable that if you husband's hand would get caught somewhere with the ring on they would have to actually cut his finger off. Not to worry though if he is smart then he won't wear the ring when he's doing manual labor when he's deployed. I'm geting my fiance a tungsten carbide ring because we like the way they look and they are indestructable and he's a helicopter mechanic in the Army. Now when he's at work the ring won't be on his finger but he'll still throw it in his tool box and you can imagine how banged up a normal ring will get in there. Don't freak out. The chances of something like that happening are rare espeically if he takes it off when he's working with his hands.

Answer 6

Forever Metals LLC uses tungsten to make wedding bands and tungsten rings.

Answer 7

It's used as the electrode in a specific welding process called GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding). Also known as TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas).

It is used in light bulbs and other high intensity heat applications.

Good job Cruiser!

Answer 8

A hard, brittle, corrosion-resistant, gray to white metallic element extracted from wolframite, scheelite, and other minerals, having the highest melting point and lowest vapor pressure of any metal. Tungsten and its alloys are used in high-temperature structural materials; in electrical elements, notably lamp filaments; and in instruments requiring thermally compatible glass-to-metal seals. Atomic number 74; atomic weight 183.84; melting point 3,410°C; boiling point 5,900°C; specific gravity 19.3 (20°C); valence 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Also called wolfram . See Table at element.

Answer 9

Tungsten steel is used in making knives.
