product; 180 W 0.120% 1.8 × 10 ... Tungsten (also called wolfram) [14] [15] is a chemical element; it has symbol W and atomic number 74. It is a rare metal found ...
Tungsten carbide (chemical formula: WC) is a chemical compound (specifically, a carbide) containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes through sintering [7] for use in industrial machinery, engineering facilities, [8] molding blocks, [9] cutting tools, chisels, abrasives, armor ...
In 2008 Norman E. Holden wrote (for IUPAC): Whether the origin of the dispute over wolfram and tungsten would justify the retention of wolfram as an alternate name for element 74, only time will tell. So "tungsten" definitely dominates in English, but "wolfram" is not completely gone (just mostly gone). Double sharp 10:45, 18 December 2022 (UTC)

In 1939 further shortages of tungsten due to WW2 led to Hemerdon Wolfram Ltd constructing a 90,000-tonne per year mill with 55% wolfram recovery, which began operation in 1941. [ 15 ] The Ministry of Supply carried out extensive evaluation of tungsten deposits in the UK, and it was concluded by 1942 that Hemerdon offered the most potential for ...
Another catalytic use of tungsten is as a De-NO X catalyst which is used in the treatment of nitrogen oxide emissions to convert harmful nitrogen oxides into inert N 2 gas. [14] Another modern day use of tungsten is as a lubricant. Tungsten disulfide (WS 2) is a lubricant with a dynamic coefficient of friction of ~0.03. Tungsten disulfide can ...
The name "Tungsram" is a portmanteau of tungsten (/ ˈ t ʌ ŋ s t ən / TUNG-stən) and wolfram (/ ˈ w ʊ l f r əm / WUUL-frəm), the two common names of the metal used for making light bulb filaments. Before becoming nationalized by the Communist government in 1945, the company was the world's third largest manufacturer of light bulbs and ...
