Metal with the Highest Melting Point
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals and features an exceptionally high density. These properties ensure dimensional stability even under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. Its low thermal expansion guarantees reliable performance under fluctuating temperatures.
Due to its high radiation resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, tungsten is used in incandescent lamps, electron tubes, welding electrodes, and as radiation shielding in nuclear applications.

Exceptional Density
With a density of 19.3 g/cm³, tungsten is ideal for applications requiring weight or radiation shielding in compact volumes.
High Radiation Resistance
Excellent resistance to X-rays and gamma radiation, perfect for shielding applications.
Environmentally Friendly
Fully recyclable and non-toxic in its pure form.
Applications
Applications
Tungsten is used in components exposed to intense heat, such as heating coils, filaments, and heating elements for high-temperature applications. In industrial furnaces and systems, it serves in protective linings, shields, and radiation barriers that must withstand extreme thermal stress.
In metalworking, tungsten is used in pressure tools, cutting edges, and wear inserts subject to heavy mechanical loads. Other applications include ballistic protection systems, counterweights, and flywheels, where high density in a compact design is essential.
Examples of use:
Light bulb and lamps, Tool and mechanical construction, Electronics and electrical engineering, Aerospace, Medical technology, High-temperature furnaces, Radiation protection and shielding
