What are the substances in tungsten?

There are none, tungsten is a pure element so it is made of only tungsten.


Is tungsten a pure substance or mixture?

Tungsten is a pure element, found in the Perodic Table. Its archaic name is 'Wolfram' and there by goes by the chemical symbol of 'W'.


What is the pure metal?

Tungsten is the strongest pure metal in the world. Tungsten has a very high density, more than 19.3 times denser than water. It is denser than uranium and lead.


Is tungsten tougher that tungsten carbide?

No. Tungsten is an element, where as tungsten carbide is an alloy, or a mixture of elements (tungsten, nickel, tantalum, niobium, titanium, and chromium). Tungsten carbide is much easier to work into styles and designs, but does not change the hardness of the metal.


Is tungsten a homogeneous mixture or heterogeneous mixture?

Tungsten is a pure element and not a mixture, so it is considered a homogeneous substance.


Is tungsten carbide and graphite the same element?

Technically no, since an element defines that it is a single atom. Tungsten Carbide is a chemical compound consisting of Tungsten and Carbon (W2C) and Graphite is a form of pure carbon


Highest melting point of any pure element?

Tungsten It melts at 3683 K


What is the melting point of tungsten steel?

Tungsten steel does not have a specific melting point, as it is an alloy mixture of tungsten and other metals such as carbon or nickel. However, pure tungsten has a melting point of 3422°C (6192°F), making it one of the metals with the highest melting points.


What metal has the highest melting temp?

Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals


Is there a quality difference between tungsten and tungsten carbide?

Yes. Similar to many elements, tungsten in it's pure elemental form is not as strong as when it's in the compound tungsten carbide. Tungsten carbide may have various different compositions due to its wide range of applications. As a jeweler, the best build sheet for light weight tungsten carbide rings would be: W (Tungsten): 42-48% Ti (Titanium): 32-44% Ni (Nickel): 16-18% Nb (Niobium): 1% Ta (Tantalum): .5-.7% Cr (Chromium): 1-2.5% A traditional titanium ring would simply swap out any Titanium with Tungsten making it slightly more vulnerable, but gaining Titanium's lightweight qualities.


How expensive the tungsten carbide?

As of Oct 2008, The price for pure metal is around $20,075 per tonne (Wikipedia).


What metal is Tungsten made of?

Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal element, known for its high melting point and strength. It is primarily composed of pure tungsten, with small amounts of other elements such as carbon and oxygen.
