I do not think it is. If yes it is hardly so
Iron is malleable but not very.Yes, iron is malleable, but most of metals are more malleable than iron.In this list metals are ranked by malleability from greatest to least:gold,silver,lead,copper,aluminium,tin,platinum,zinc,iron,nickel.
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.
Malleable
The chemical symbol for Tungsten is W. (Tungsten is also known as Wolfram.)
Tungsten is found in wolframite (hence why the Germans called tungsten wolfram).
Mercury and Tungsten
Malleability refers to metals in solid form, it is the ability of the metal being shaped, bent or formed. Tungsten is not malleable, as it is rated as an 8-9 on the Moh's scale, with 10 being the highest ranking.
Zinc may be deformed simply - hence the long run zinc gutters on buildings. But it is not as malleable as copper or silver, but is better than tungsten or silicon.
Some examples of metals that are not malleable include bismuth, antimony, and tungsten. These metals are brittle and tend to break or shatter when subjected to bending or shaping processes.

Gold is extremely malleable.
no it is not malleable
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.
Malleable
Yep. Tungsten has the highest tensile strength of all metals. It is very hard, but brittle, and will fracture instead of giving in. Gold, particularly 24k, is very soft and might even be accidentally bent by hand in thin parts of the piece. On the other hand, gold is the most ductile and malleable metal; it will bend and stretch instead of breaking.
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.
