Ferro Tungsten

Description

This exceptional metal is the basis of the world’s strongest alloys, as well as found on the tips of ballpoint pens.

Tungsten is almost three times denser than iron, and therefore three times heavier. a piece of Tungsten the size of a tennis ball would weigh almost 3 kg, more than scrap metal.

In the 19th and 20th centuries Tungsten steel was used to make weapons: today it is still used to make bullets and tanks, but Tungsten alloys and compounds are also found in common objects such as darts and drill bits.
