In general Tungsten is used in heating elements. Lightbulbs and Oven elements are a common use.
Because of it's ability to stand high temperatures Tungsten is mainly used as light bulb filaments. Its melting point (3695 K, 3422°C, 6192°F) is the highest of all non-alloy metals and second highest element after carbon (diamond). Other uses of it include model rocket igniters, bullets, and also in rocket engine nozzles. Similar to the lightbulb filaments, it also has been used in heating elements and kiln heating elements.
What is MICATHERMIC Heating Element ? Micathermic Heating Element is a sheet of heating element that makes use of the mineral "Mica" associated with other elements. To take advantage of mica mineral, this kind of heating element can supply 99% heat to the air instantly with its thinnest profile down to 0.5mm. The main reason is that mica has wide ranges of properties such as electrical and mechanical strength, high temperature stability, excellent cleavage into the thinnest desired film, etc. In other words, Micathermic Heating Element can be used in the field of industrial and household applications. The Advantages of Micathermic Heating Element (1) Fast heat up in large surface area(2) No Overheating(3) No Combustion Oxygen(4) No Dehumidifying(5) Thin Profile and Light weight(6) Easy to install(7) Low cost
Wire, an internal heating element and metal, that's about it.
by heating it with a more reactive element; e.g. zinc.
tungsten has high resistivity and resistance but at a higher temperature it becomes hot and oxidised and melted so we can't use tungsten as heating coil
alloy
That would most likely be a nickel and chrome alloy. Light bulbs use tungsten.
Examples are the tungsten element inside a light bulb, and the heating element bars of an electric fire.

Iron - or an alloy of iron with other elements such as chromium and/or tungsten.
the element has a open in it !
Yes heating element is burner assembly.
Positive temperature coefficient heating element. Resistivity grow larger with higher temperatures so the heating element should be self regulating.
we wont use copper as a heating element because it expands on heating and it can effect the thermostat
where is the heating element on a kenmore series 400
They burn out from 1) the rapid heating and cooling of the Tungsten filament, and 2) from the tungsten atoms being released from the metal filament by way of the extremely high temperatures. Eventually the tungsten metal fails and the filament breaks.
