A strand tungsten filament is a thin, flexible wire made from tungsten, a chemical element known for its exceptional strength, high melting point, and resistance to heat. Tungsten, with an atomic number of 74, has the highest melting point of any metal—over 3,400°C (6,150°F)—making it ideal for use in applications where high temperatures are encountered.

Influenced by factors such as the difficult importation of rare earth ores from Myanmar, an increase in the northern rare earth spot price month-on-month, high production costs, and the U.S. presidential election, suppliers are generally maintaining firm quotations. 

The domestic Chinese molybdenum market is generally maintaining a stalemate, with prices and transaction volumes remaining relatively stable due to the interplay of both positive and negative factors.
