Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals as well as a remarkably high modulus of elasticity.

Thanks to its outstanding thermal properties, tungsten can easily withstand even the highest temperatures.

Tungsten also stands out for its relatively high density and is therefore used in a wide range of industrial

applications such as in the aviation and aerospace industries, the electrical engineering sector, and in electronics.
