tungsten <<>> Also along with the above, aluminium for the shell, steel for the filament holders, and in past years brass was used for the shell until manufactures found out it was cheaper to use aluminium for the job.
The metal with the highest melting point for this reason it is often used as the filament in light bulbs?
tungsten
What are carbon filaments for light bulbs?
Modern light bulb filaments are usually Tungsten not Carbon. However early bulbs used things like silk coated with Carbon. Filament means thin thread. The bulbs are filled with inert gas like Argon to stop the filament from burning up with oxygen. Arc lamps use Carbon rods though.
What element is a thick inert gas and is used to fill light bulbs?
neon
