The reactions of tungsten with CO2 and D2O at high temperatures and low pressures (T >2000 K, 10−5 < P < 10−2Torr) has been studied using mass spectrometry. Under these conditions both reactants produce the same volatile oxide products which result in significant transport of tungsten compared to sublimation. The quasi-equilibrium model of gas surface reactions provides a good qualitative description of the rates of product formation. The fit is quantitatively satisfactory if the JANAF thermochemical values for the products are adjusted within their reported error. A comparison is made between these reactions and the reaction of oxygen with tungsten under similar conditions.

Can tungsten block x-ray?

Yes and no. It is a dense metal but the xrays would react with the molecules in tungsten and that causes more xrays. This reaction is called compton scatter.

How strong would diamond mixed tungsten be?

Very strong ANS2: At ordinary conditions of pressure, the temperatures where tungsten melts, carbon would vaporize. That would effectively prevent the crystalline form of carbon {diamond) from forming. Iron becomes harder when alloyed with carbon because it fills in the gaps (interstices) in iron. Since carbon does not form an interstitial alloy with tungsten, it would form pockets or inclusions of carbon in the tungsten and weaken the metal.
