Tungsten is a hard and brittle metal with a high melting point and density. Its hardness varies depending on the testing method, such as Brinell, Knoop, Rockwell, Vickers, etc. See the table of tungsten properties and references.
The Physical Properties of Tungsten Tungsten (W) is a rare silver-white metal and belongs to group VIB of the periodic table. Tungsten has a steel-like appearance but has a high melting point , low vapor pressure, and a low evaporation rate.
• Alloys: Tungsten is used in high speed steel, which can contain as much as 18% Tungsten [3]. Due to its properties, Tungsten is used in aerospace and automotive industries and radiation shielding [4]. • Chemical applications: Tungsten (IV) sulphide is a high temperature lubricant and is a component of catalysts for hydrodesulfurization [5].
Tungsten reacts at high temperatures with B, C, Si, P, As, S, Se, Te, and the halogens. It reacts with fluorine at lower temperatures. It is stable to chlorine up to 250°C, and to bromine and iodine up to 500°C.
Tungsten is a grayish white, lustrous metal with high melting point and density. It is used in filaments, alloys, and as a chemical reagent. Learn about its history, properties, isotopes, and applications.

Overview. Authors: Erik Lassner, Wolf-Dieter Schubert. 24k Accesses. 561 Citations. 3 Altmetric. About this book. Why does someone write a book about Tungsten? There are several reasons and precedents for this, the most important of which is that the last book on tungsten was written more than 20 years ago, in 1977, by St. W H. Yih and Ch T. Wang.
