Tungsten<\/a><\/span> is a silvery-white metal that is shaped like steel. Its melting point is the highest of all metal elements, up to 3422\u00b0C, and its boiling point is 5927\u00b0C, making it the metal with the highest melting point in the world. It is an ultra-high-temperature resistant metal and ranks first in the list of metals with the highest melting points.<\/p>

As a rare high-melting-point metal, tungsten is often used as a filament, because when the light is turned on, the temperature of the filament reaches up to 3000\u00b0C. Only tungsten can withstand such a high temperature. In addition, tungsten can also increase the high-temperature hardness of steel. At the same time, tungsten has been widely used in the fields of alloy, electronics and chemical industries due to its high melting point, high hardness, high density and good conductivity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
