Yes, pass electricity through one and it will generate heat. Pass enough and it could theoretically produce light. It's the same material (roughly) that inside of lightbulb filaments. It has a HIGH resistance which means, while being conductive, much of the electricity passing through it will be converted into heat energy.

Why is titanium a poor conductor of thermal heat and electricity?
Actually tungsten is a great conductor of heat and electricity. Tungsten is used a light bulb filaments. If Tungsten was a poor conductor of heat and electricity the bulb in the circuit would not glow because there wouldn't be electricity passing through the circuit. Tungsten is also used as an electrode in gas tungsten arc welding. Electricity passes through the tungsten (negative) and moves to the workpiece (positive) for most applications.
