- Tungsten - Periodic Table of Elements and ChemistryTungsten is a very hard, dense, silvery-white, lustrous metal that tarnishes in air, forming a protective oxide coating. In powder form tungsten is gray. The metal has the highest melting point of all metals, and at temperatures over 1650 o C also has the highest tensile strength.
- Tungsten Facts - W or Atomic Number 74 (Wolfram) - Science Notes and ...Tungsten is a chemical element with the symbol W and atomic number 74 that stands out for its remarkable properties, especially its extreme melting point. The name ‘tungsten’ comes from the Swedish words “tung sten”, meaning “heavy stone”.
- Tungsten: Properties, Production, Applications & Alloys - ThoughtCoTungsten is a dull silver-colored metal with the highest melting point of any pure metal. Also known as Wolfram, from which the element takes its symbol, W, tungsten is more resistant to fracturing than diamond and is much harder than steel.
