What's Tungsten? - Interesting Facts of Tungsten

From Zhenghua, CTIA, Xiamen, China   Published on Thursday, 16 Jun 2022 18:19 Hits:  

Tungsten is a rare metal with high melting point in nature, which has the properties of high density, high hardness, high wear resistance, high conductivity high temperature and high strength. Tungsten metal is a silvery white and shiny metal with high melting point but low vapor pressure, low evaporation rate and relatively stable chemical properties. 

Tungsten is a base metal with a steel gray to white transition metal. In nature, it mostly exists in the form of compounds with other elements, rather than alone.

The chemical properties of tungsten are very stable. It does not react with air and water at room temperature. When it is not heated, any concentration of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and aqua regia do not work on tungsten. When the temperature rises to 80-100 centigrade, among the above acids, except hydrofluoric acid, other acids have a weak effect on tungsten. 

At room temperature, tungsten can be rapidly dissolved in the mixed acid of hydrofluoric acid and concentrated nitric acid, but it does not work in alkali solution. In the presence of air, molten alkali can oxidize tungsten into tungstate. In the presence of oxidants (NaNO3, NaNO2, KClO3, PbO2), the reaction to form tungstate is more violent. It can combine with oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, carbon, nitrogen and sulfur at high temperature, but not with hydrogenation.
