Tungsten powder (CAS 7440-33-7) metal powder

Tungsten is a steel-gray to tin-white metal. It is a heavy metal. It is a very hard metal that is stable in dry air at ordinary temperatures. Although very difficult to work with, tungsten can be cut with a hacksaw, forged, or spun. Commercially, tungsten is obtained via the reduction of tungsten oxide with hydrogen or carbon. Due to its hardness, tungsten has the highest boiling point and highest tensile strength of all metals. Although the metal shows resistance to corrosion, it can oxidize i
Dull gray powder or hard, brittle, steel-gray to white metal. Difficult to melt. Mp: 3410°C; bp; 5900°C. Density: 19.3 g/cm3. Used in alloys, light bulb filaments, and cutting tools. Tungsten Dust (for example, from grinding) may present a moderate fire hazard if allowed to accumulate and exposed to an ignition source.|DryPowder; DryPowder, OtherSolid; OtherSolid|GREY-TO-WHITE POWDER.|Physical properties vary depending upon the specific soluble tungsten compound.|Hard, brittle, steel-gray to tin-white solid.

It occurs in rocks and minerals combined with other chemicals, but never as a pure metal. Elemental tungsten is a white to steel gray metal (depending on the purity) that can be used in pure form or mixed with other metals to make alloys. Tungsten alloys tend to be strong and flexible, resist wear, and conduct electricity well. Tungsten is used in products such as x-ray tubes, light bulbs, high-speed tools, welding electrodes, turbine blades, golf clubs, darts, fishing weights, gyroscope wheels, phonograph needles, bullets, and armor penetrators. Tungsten is also used as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions. Chemical compounds of tungsten are used for many purposes. Cemented tungsten carbide is a hard substance used to make grinding wheels and cutting or forming tools. Other tungsten compounds are used in ceramic pigments, as fire retardant coatings for fabrics, and as color-resistant dyes for fabrics.|Tungsten is a chromium group element atom. It has a role as a micronutrient.|A metallic element with the atomic symbol W, atomic number 74, and atomic weight 183.85. It is used in many manufacturing applications, including increasing the hardness, toughness, and tensile strength of steel; manufacture of filaments for incandescent light bulbs; and in contact points for automotive and electrical apparatus.
