A pale gray metal, found only in chemical compounds, with the chemical symbol W. Tungsten has the second highest melting point, after carbon, of any element. It also has excellent tensile strength. These properties make tungsten particularly useful for high temperature applications and in superalloys.
See also tungsten carbide.
