Lead has a density of about 11.34 g/cm3, but with tungsten, you can achieve densities of up to 19.25 g/cm3, almost two times the density of lead, comparable to that of uranium (18.9 g/cm3) and gold (19.30 g/cm3).
Higher density means smaller parts for the same weight, so tungsten is widely used in many areas such high-performance engine in battle plane、armor piercing bullet 、 shrapnel pits、counterweight in racing car、fishing sinker、 sailing boat、radiation shielding and so on.
