Tungsten (Wolfram) The 58th most abundant element in the earth’s crust, It a lustrous and silvery-white metal in its pure form. Tungsten is the metal with the highest melting point (3407°C) and processes the highest tensile strength at temperatures above 1300°C when it is red hot. The bulk metal resists attack by oxygen, acids and alkalis. Tungsten is a very dense element.
The most commonly traded forms of tungsten include ammoniumpara tungstate (APT) and tungsten oxides, ferro tungsten and tungsten metal powder or bar.
APPLICATIONS IN METALLURGY
Tungsten’s high strength and resistance to high temperatures has made it an important raw material in many industries from basic cutting tools weapons, wear protection and strengthening metals and superalloys.
