Tungsten Metal

Tungsten metal is a grayish-white lustrous metal that is often brittle and hard to work. Of all metals in pure form, tungsten has highest melting point of all elements except carbon - vary between 3387°C and 3422°C. It also has good thermal and electrical conductivity. Its electrical conductivity at 0°C is about 28% of that of silver which itself has the highest conductivity of all metals. In addition, it has low vapor pressure at high temperatures.

Such properties make tungsten metal a high performance material in high temperature products and processes. Tungsten metal powder is used as a filler material in plastic composites, which are used as a nontoxic substitute for lead in bullets, shot, and radiation shields.
