Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal. Tungsten can be used in pure form or mixed with other metals to make alloys. Military tungsten alloy tend to be strong, flexible, and resistant to wear. Tungsten and its alloys are used in a variety of commercial products including light bulb filaments, x-ray tubes, welding electrodes, grinding wheels, ceramic pigments, and fire retardants.

Are there tungsten alloys in the Army's "green bullet"? The "green bullet" is a common term for the lead-free, small arms ammunition developed by the Army in an effort to provide soldiers with ammunition that is environmentally friendly. Military Tungsten alloy are not used in the green bullet or lead-free bullet. Green bullet typically contains tungsten that is mixed together with either nylon or tin.

Military tungsten alloy, on the other hand, contains other metals, such as nickel, cobalt, iron, or copper, which are heated to high temperature that allows the materials to bond together.
