What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the molecular formula for tungsten?
The chemical symbol for Tungsten is W. (Tungsten is also known as Wolfram.)
What are the substances in tungsten?
There are none, tungsten is a pure element so it is made of only tungsten.
What is ore of tungsten?
Tungsten is found in wolframite (hence why the Germans called tungsten wolfram).
Do tungsten rings contain nickel?
No, tungsten rings do not contain nickel. Tungsten rings are typically made of tungsten carbide, which does not contain nickel. This makes tungsten rings a good option for individuals with nickel allergies.
Was the lightbulb that Thomas Edison invented later replaced by anything else later in history?
yes, by tungsten, a metal
What are some facts about the light bulb?
1. Wire in the inside usually made of tungsten 2. invented by Thomas Edison
Is tungsten tougher that tungsten carbide?

Is tungsten magnetic?
Yes, tungsten is not magnetic. Tungsten is a diamagnetic material, which means it is slightly repelled by a magnetic field.
What is the molecular formula for tungsten?
The chemical symbol for Tungsten is W. (Tungsten is also known as Wolfram.)
What is ore of tungsten?
Tungsten is found in wolframite (hence why the Germans called tungsten wolfram).
What are the substances in tungsten?
There are none, tungsten is a pure element so it is made of only tungsten.
What is Tungsten original name?
Tungsten's original name is Wolfram that is why the symbol for Tungsten is a W
Could you give a motto with tungsten?
We should be strong as tungsten heavy alloy,tough as tungsten carbide.This is the motto of China Tungsten Online
Is tungsten paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
Tungsten is diamagnetic.
Who invented the tungsten filament lamps?
Thomas Edison It was actually Irving Langmuir (of General Electric), also an American. Edison's incandescent lamp used a carbon filament, as did that of his contemporary, England's Joseph Swan who got there before Edison (who invented a longer lasting carbon filament). William Coolidge improve on Langmuir's filament by making it longer (the familiar twisted shape) and brighter. Humphrey Davy had invented a platinum filament way back in 1809 that worked, but was too expensive for commercial use. Those that followed him failed to cotton on to the use of a metallic filament and went for carbon instead. What Tomas Edison can claim is the 'development' of a commercially useful light bulb using a carbon filament - though this was superseded by the tungsten filament not long after.
What element was derived from German name wolfram?
That's tungsten. Wikipedia has more in their post on this amazing metal. A link to it is below.
