Tungsten Powder

Like gold, silver and platinum, Tungsten is an element #74. It is naturally occurring and is one of the main elements responsible for the development of human civilization. Without tungsten, we would not have the incandescent light bulb as the filament inside the bulb is tungsten and has the toughness and resilience exceeding any other metal. In 1922 the Germans developed Tungsten Carbide as the material used in making better cutting tool bits for precision milling and cutting of steel. In World War II, tungsten played an enormous role in background political dealings. Portugal, as the main European source of the element, was put under pressure from both sides, because of its sources of wolframite ore. The resistance to high temperatures, as well as the extreme strength of its alloys, made the metal into a very important raw material for the weaponry industry.


Today tungsten carbide is in widespread use in the worldwide machinery of modern industry and is a darling super alloy that has made aerospace advances possible. And it is still the one little item that makes a light bulb work.
