Tungsten, whose symbol is ‘W’ on the periodic table, hails from Group 6 and Period 6. It is an incredibly robust and heavy metal, with an atomic number of 74. Tungsten’s most notable property is its exceptionally high melting point of 3,422 degrees Celsius (6,192 degrees Fahrenheit) – the highest of all discovered metals.
The element has the highest tensile strength, excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, and the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion among all pure metals. Tungsten’s chemical compounds often appear in forms of oxides, sulfides, and complex minerals like scheelite (CaWO4) and wolframite ([Fe,Mn]WO4). Tungsten is generally not found as a free element in nature due to its chemical reactivity.
We understand the criticality of tungsten and the dependence of various sectors on it. Our rigorous quality control processes ensure that our tungsten meets and exceeds industry standards. Our commitment extends to ensuring sustainable and responsible sourcing, bearing in mind the environmental and social impacts.
We’re proud to offer tungsten, and we’re even prouder to serve industries that make the world a better, safer, and more advanced place. With every shipment, we’re not just delivering a mineral; we’re delivering the power to create, innovate, and advance.
