It has both acid and basic properties. When alloyed in small quantities with steel, it greatly increases its hardness. Symbol W (Wolframium). Atomic weight, 183.6. Specific gravity, 18. |
| Tungsten (n.) Scheelite, or calcium tungstate. |
| tungsten / wolfram / W / atomic number a heavy grey-white metallic element, the pure form is used mainly in electrical applications, it is found in several ores including wolframite and scheelite |
| chrome-tungsten steel a steel alloy made with chromium and tungsten |
| tungsten steel / wolfram steel a very hard heatesistant steel containing tungsten |
