Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3,422 °C, 6,192 °F), lowest vapor pressure (at temperatures above 1,650 °C, 3,000 °F), and the highest tensile strength. [26] Although carbon remains solid at higher temperatures than tungsten, carbon sublimes at atmospheric pressure instead of melting, so it has no melting ...
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 chemistry, a tungstate is a compound that contains an oxyanion of tungsten or is a mixed oxide containing tungsten. The simplest tungstate ion is WO 2− 4 , "orthotungstate". [ 1 ] Many other tungstates belong to a large group of polyatomic ions that are termed polyoxometalates , ("POMs"), and specifically termed isopolyoxometalates as they ...

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.
The unit cell of beta-tungsten. Beta-tungsten (β-W) is a metastable phase of tungsten widely observed in tungsten thin films.While the commonly existing stable alpha-tungsten (α-W) has a body-centered cubic structure, β-W adopts the topologically close-packed A15 structure containing eight atoms per unit cell, [1] [2] and it irreversibly transforms to the stable α phase through thermal ...
Tungsten steel is any steel that has tungsten as its alloying element with characteristics derived mostly from the presence of this element (as opposed to any other element in the alloy). Common alloys have between 2% and 18% tungsten by weight along with small amounts of molybdenum and vanadium which together create an alloy with exceptional ...
