Tungsten's high melting point makes tungsten a good material for applications like rocket nozzles, for example in the UGM-27 Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile. [82] Tungsten alloys are used in a wide range of applications, including the aerospace and automotive industries and radiation shielding. [ 83 ]
The Gmelin rare earths handbook lists 1522 °C and 1550 °C as two melting points given in the literature, the most recent reference [Handbook on the chemistry and physics of rare earths, vol.12 (1989)] is given with 1529 °C.
15.5 kK, critical point of tungsten; 25 kK, mean temperature of the universe 10,000 years after the Big Bang; 26 kK on the white dwarf Sirius B; 28 kK in record cationic lightning over Earth; 29 kK on surface of Alnitak (easternmost star of Orion's belt) 4–8–40–160 kK [clarification needed] on white dwarfs

Melting points (in blue) and boiling points (in pink) of the first eight carboxylic acids (°C). For most substances, melting and freezing points are approximately equal. For example, the melting and freezing points of mercury is 234.32 kelvins (−38.83 °C; −37.89 °F). [2]
Boca Raton, Florida, 2003; Section 6, Fluid Properties; Critical Constants. Also agrees with Celsius values from Section 4: Properties of the Elements and Inorganic Compounds, Melting, Boiling, Triple, and Critical Point Temperatures of the Elements Estimated accuracy for Tc and Pc is indicated by the number of digits.
This is a list of the various reported boiling points for the elements, with recommended values to be used elsewhere on Wikipedia. ... 74 W tungsten; use: 6203 K ...
the freezing point is not considered as a characteristic property of a substance. The International Temperature Scale of 1990 (ITS-90) uses only freezing points for all temperature definitions above the melting point of gallium. Thus 7 out of the 14 definitions are freezing points, only one is a melting point.
