Which metal has a melting point of over 3000 degrees celsius is used to make light bulb filaments?

The filament wire of an incandescent light bulb is a tightly-coiled wire made from Tungsten. Before it is coiled up it is long and thin.
The element is always supported on two stronger wires made of another kind of metal which can withstand the intense heat inside the bulb.

There are many different kinds of light bulbs that use other metals! Just to name a few: Mercury(Hg), Tungsten(W), Sodium(Na).

∙ 11y agoOf all metals in pure form, tungsten has the highest melting point (3,422 °C, 6,192 °F). Tungsten's many alloys have numerous applications, most notably in incandescent light bulb filaments, X-ray tubes (as both the filament and target), electrodes in TIG welding, and superalloys.

What property does tungsten have that make it suitable for making filament?
the reason that tungsten is better then carbon for light filaments is because the melting point is higher,. the melting point of carbon is only 3550, as where tungstens melting point is 3695
What is the melting point of Mercury the element?
Mercury's melting point is 234.32 K or -38.83 C or -37.89 F. Mercury, Hg has a melting point of around -38.83oC. With its boiling point at 356.13oC it has a very wide liquid range. Along with Bromine, it is the only element liquid at room temperatures, but Gallium comes close with an M.P. of 29.29.76oC.
What element is used in light bulb filaments?
Tugsten No, its Neon. like Neon signs actually its not neon because neon is used for neon lights the questions states what is used in light bulb filaments not neon lights.
Are Bright centers of solar activity are called filaments?
yes like the bright filament of a light bulb
What causes the left tail light not to get brighter when braking even though both bulbs light up when the lights are turned on on a Dodge Stratus?
Many taillight assemblies are equipped with bulbs with dual filaments, one for tail lights and one for brake lights. If you have one bulb with two filaments, then the problem you describe sounds like the brake light filament in the left bulb is burned out but the tail light filament is working.
What element are light bulb filaments made out of?
Tungsten, a metal with a very high melting-point.
What to wear at 10 degrees Celsius?
A light jacket. 10 degrees Celsius is 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is a light silvery white metal on the periodic table with a melting point of 881.4 degrees celsius?
Are you sure you got that right? No metal melts at 881.4, but sodium boils at 881.
What elements are in light bulbs as a filament?
Light bulb filaments are usually made of tungsten, which has a very high melting point. Occasionally carbon is used as a filament.
What is the melting point of salt?
The melting point of salt NaCl is 801ºC or 1074 K.
What is always in light bulb filaments?
Tungsten is always in light bulb filaments :)
What is first light bulb made out of?
It was thought that carbon would be the best material for filaments because it is the element with the highest melting point of 6,510 ºF.
What metal use the filaments in light bulbs?
Tungsten is used in filaments of light bulbs.
What is the function of the Tungsten filament in a light bulb?
Because it has a very very high melting temperature: 6191F, 3422C. However it is also very difficult to work with, so early light bulbs used carbon for making the filament instead. Around the year 1900, carbon filaments were replaced with tantalum filaments. It was not until about 1910 that it became practical to make tungsten filaments.
What to wear on a day that is 6 degrees celsius?
6 degrees Celsius equals 42.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that you are likely to wear long sleeves and long pants, with a light to medium warmth jacket.
What elements make a light bulb possible?
For an element to be eligible for a light bulb, it should be highly malleable and should have a very high melting point. Tungsten is one such element which is extensively used to make filaments of electric bulbs.
If the temperature is 39 degrees Celsius you are most likely to want to wear?
If the temperature is 39 degrees Celsius you are most likely to want to wear?Something light and cool (or even a bathing suit) -- this is the same as 102.2 degrees Fvery little.
