Tungsten (Wolframite)
Overview
Tungsten is a hard, steel-gray metal with the highest melting point of all metals. Wolframite is one of its principal ores.
Tungsten (W, #74) is a dense, hard, silvery-white metal known for having the highest melting point of any metal, making it crucial for high-temperature applications like light bulb filaments, heating elements, and rocket nozzles, often used as tungsten carbide for extremely hard cutting tools, but it’s brittle at room temp and usually found in ores like wolframite.
Tungsten is considered a strategic and critical mineral due to its industrial and defense applications.
