Tungsten is a heavy metal and requires certain safety precautions when handling. It is considered an irritant to the eyes, skin, and lungs. Though it is considered less dangerous than other heavy metals, it could pose a great health hazard when interacting with other compounds. Tungsten toxicity in humans is rare, and the effects of long-term exposure to tungsten or tungsten compounds has only recently begun to be studied.
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.
Yes, tungsten is not magnetic. Tungsten is a diamagnetic material, which means it is slightly repelled by a magnetic field.
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).
There are none, tungsten is a pure element so it is made of only tungsten.
Tungsten's original name is Wolfram that is why the symbol for Tungsten is a W
We should be strong as tungsten heavy alloy,tough as tungsten carbide.This is the motto of China Tungsten Online
In the environment tungsten: * acidifies soils * impacts soil microbial commnities * decreases bacterial species in soil * increases fungal types in soil * kills red worms and plants * enters the food chain
Tungsten is diamagnetic.
That's tungsten. Wikipedia has more in their post on this amazing metal. A link to it is below.
