A rare element of the chromium group found in certain minerals, as wolfram and scheelite, and isolated as a heavy steel-gray metal which is very hard and infusible. It has both acid and basic properties. When alloyed in small quantities with steel, it greatly increases its hardness. Symbol W (Wolframium). Atomic weight, 183.6. Specific gravity, 18.
Scheelite, or calcium tungstate.
A rare metallic element having a bright gray color, a metallic luster, and a high melting point. It is a critical component of carbide tooling.
A metal commonly used to make the plugs used for connecting metal wires to one another or to the devices in integrated circuits. (Basic Science/Radiography/xraygenerators.htm)
material used in a lamps filament construction
A rare element of the chromium group contained in certain minerals associated with high-temperature quartz veins and isolated as a hard, brittle, white or grey metal.
A metallic element used in making electric fight bulb filament.
A heavy steel/tungsten compound is used to add weight to a club head, either as a swing weighting material in the shaft or as a defined weight attached somewhere in/on the head.
a heavy gray-white metallic element; the pure form is used mainly in electrical applications; it is found in several ores including wolframite and scheelite
Tungsten is a gray-white heavy high-melting ductile hard polyvalent metallic element that resembles chromium and molybdenum in many of its properties and is used especially for electrical purposes and hardening alloys (as steel).
a heavy, hard metal with a high melting point which conducts electricity well: Tungsten is used for a filament in tungsten halogen lamps.
A metal commonly used to make the plugs used for connecting metal wires to one another or to the devices in integrated circuits. Tungsten is usually deposited by CVD, unlike almost all the other commonly used metals in semiconductor manufacturing which are generally deposited by sputtering. This makes it excellent for filling deep narrow holes such as the contact holes connecting the metal wires to each other and to the semiconductor devices in an integrated circuit.
A metal used in pure or near pure state as an electrode material, Melting point is 3380ºC. [ Words starting with U
A rare metallic element with extremely high melting point used for manufacturing TIG electrodes.
a heavy, greyish-white metal.
A hard, brittle, corrosion-resistant, gray to white metallic element commonly used in pure or alloy form in high-temperature structural materials, such as lamp and valve filament
Rare metallic element with extremely high melting point (3410°C). Used in manufacturing TIG electrodes. [ return to the top
Tungsten, the metal formerly known as wolfram, is the 74th element on the periodic table. It is widely known for its robust physical properties (e.g. highest melting point, lowest vapor pressure and highest tensile strength at temperatures above 1650° C of any other metal know to humankind), and is used in everything from light bulb filaments to professional darts.
A refractory metal used as an interconnect material.
Gray metal with high tensile strength. It is ductile, malleable, and resistant to atmospheric elements and all acids except strong alkalies.
Dense metal used in dart barrels
When used as an alloying element it increases the strength of steel at normal and elevated temperatures. Its "red hardness" value makes it suitable for cutting tools as it enables the tool edge to be maintained at high temperatures. In conjunction with other alloying elements it finds applications in heat resisting and other severe service conditions.
A metal filament used in most light bulbs. Makes a reddish/yellow colored light. There are special films and filters for correcting the color cast from this light.
When used as an alloying element, it increases the strength of steel at normal and elevated temperatures. Chemical symbol for Uranium
A heavy metallic compound used to add weight to a club head, either as a swingweighting material in the shaft or as a defined weight attached somewhere in/on the head. May be in the form of powder or encapsulated in tip weights.
Incandescent lighting that uses a tungsten filament. These lamps produce a lot of heat. They can be used as photographic lighting, but aren't too great for studio use. These are usually used for modeling light.
Steel-gray, metallic element, mp 3380°C (6116°F) used for electric lamp filament, x-ray tube target, and as alloy element in high-speed steels.
1. A gray-white dense high-melting point ductile hard metallic element that resembles chromium and molybdenum in many of its properties and is used for electric light filaments and in hardening alloys.
1) The metal that lamp filaments are made of. 2) Sometimes refers to the colour temperature in degrees Kelvin that simulates a common photo lamp (3200K).
A metallic element frequently used in alloys. Atomic number 74; atomic symbol W.
A Tungsten is a type of phonograph stylus. They are constructed from tungsten wire, which is held in a metal shank. Unlike a steel stylus, a tungsten stylus has a tubular rather than a conical shape, meaning that the cross-section of the stylus remains the same as the stylus wears down, which in turn means that tungsten styluses may be used for more plays than steel ones.
