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 ...
Tungsten rods with evaporated crystals, partially oxidized with colorful tarnish, as well as a 1 cm 3 tungsten cube for comparison. Tungsten is a hard, rare metal under standard conditions when uncombined and is found naturally on Earth only in chemical compounds. Its chemical symbol is W, which represents its alternative name, "wolfram".
In its raw form, tungsten is a hard steel-grey metal that is often brittle and hard to work. Purified, monocrystalline tungsten retains its hardness (which exceeds that of many steels), and becomes malleable enough that it can be worked easily. [21] It is worked by forging, drawing, or extruding but it is more commonly formed by sintering.
Thirty-four artificial radioisotopes of tungsten have been characterized with mass numbers ranging from 156 to 194, the most stable of which are 181 W with a half-life of 121.2 days, 185 W with a half-life of 75.1 days, 188 W with a half-life of 69.4 days and 178 W with a half-life of 21.6 days.
