  2. Tungsten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten

    Tungsten is the only metal in the third transition series that is known to occur in biomolecules, being found in a few species of bacteria and archaea. However, tungsten interferes with molybdenum and copper metabolism and is somewhat toxic to most forms of animal life.

  3. Tungsten steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_steel

    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 ...

  4. Tungsten carbide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_carbide

    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 ...

  5. Tungsten ore - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tungsten_ore

    Tungsten ore is a rock from which the element tungsten can be economically extracted. The ore minerals of tungsten include wolframite, scheelite, and ferberite. Tungsten is used for making many alloys. Tungsten ore deposits are predominantly magmatic or hydrothermal in origin and are associated with felsic igneous intrusions. [1]

  6. Refractory metals - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractory_metals

    Refractory metals have high melting points, with tungsten and rhenium the highest of all elements, and the other's melting points only exceeded by osmium and iridium, and the sublimation of carbon. These high melting points define most of their applications. All the metals are body-centered cubic except rhenium which is hexagonal close-packed.

  7. Ferrotungsten - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrotungsten

    Ferrotungsten is relatively expensive, with the prices around $31–44 per kilogram of contained tungsten. [4] During World War 2, over 21,000,000 lb of Ferro-tungsten and other ferroalloys were shipped to Russia on lend-lease. [3] The cost was more than $12,000,000. Ferrotungsten comes from rich ore raw materials primarily of wolframite or ...
