Tungsten

What do we mean by tungsten?

A hard, brittle, corrosion-resistant, gray to white metallic element extracted from wolframite, scheelite, and other minerals, having the highest melting point and lowest vapor pressure of any metal. Tungsten and its alloys are used in high-temperature structural materials and wear-resistant tools and machine parts; in electrical elements, notably lamp filaments; and in instruments requiring thermally compatible glass-to-metal seals. Atomic number 74; atomic weight 183.84; melting point 3,422°C; boiling point 5,555°C; specific gravity 19.3 (20°C); valence 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. cross-reference: Periodic Table. noun

Metallic tungsten has been obtained by means of the electric furnace in a fused state, though not quite compact, and probably not quite pure. It is of rather bright gray color, with metallic luster, specific gravity 18.7, hard, but not sufficiently so to scratch glass, of very high melting-point and softening gradually before fusion, so that it may be welded. It is little acted on by air or water at ordinary temperature, slowly attacked by hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, or sulphuric acid, rapidly by hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acid with addition of nitric acid, and when in powder burns in the air at a red heat. noun

Chemical symbol, W; atomic weight, 183.5. A metal some of whose ores have long been known (see wolfram and scheelite), but they were supposed to be compounds of tin. noun

The native tungstate of lime. noun

A rare element of the chromium group found in certain minerals, as wolfram and scheelite, and isolated as a heavy steel-gray metal which is very hard and infusible. 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. noun

Scheelite, or calcium tungstate. noun

Tungstite. noun

A metallic chemical element (symbol W) with an atomic number of 74. The symbol is derived from the Latin word wolframium. noun

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 noun

A rare metallic chemical element (symbol W, from Latin wolframium) with an atomic number of 74.

A light bulb containing tungsten.

Scheelite, calcium tungstate

Tungsten is used as a word to describe anything that can be bad or good, much like the smurfs fill their sentences with the word 'smurf'. Urban Dictionary

A metallic element on the periodic table with an atomic number of 74. It has the highest melting point of all metals and is otherwise cool. Urban Dictionary

The 74th element that is forever linked to its unbelievable strength. Tungsten is everything a metal should be: it's heavy, strong, conductive, alloyable, and shiny. It even forms crystals. Although its tensile strength is the best out of any metal, its impact strength is straight ass. If you were to make a sledgehammer out of Tungsten and hit it against something sturdy, the head of the hammer would blow itself to pieces. Despite this, Tungsten is still widely used for its tensile strength. It is a major component in some steels, offering a huge boost in durability and strength and sending the melting point of the latter into space. Tungsten's name is directly translated into "heavy stone" from Swedish (Tung Sten). Its previous name "Wolfram" comes from the chief ore of Tungsten, Wolframite. This in turn means "the devourer of Tin" in Germanic, due to the fact that Tungsten interferes with the process of smelting Tin. Urban Dictionary

A dumbass idiot who has low morals and would do anything for money. Someone who is loud and brash and just sounds like an idiot when they talk. Has a very low IQ and is probably the dumbest person out of the group. Very perverded and engages in sexual acts with random things. Urban Dictionary

Tungsten is an element on the Periodic Table with the symbol "W". "W" is sometimes referred to as WIN. So this means that Tungsten = Win. Urban Dictionary

Used to describe something that is unbelievably good or funny. Taken from the camera setting tungsten, which makes people appear more tanned, vivid and generally attractive. Most commonly used among asian nationalities residing in western countries, based on a long standing love affair with the camera. Urban Dictionary

The name of a retard who has several disorders, which include Narcoleptzy, epileptic seizures, and a severe amount of crickness. This person eats there own shit. Urban Dictionary

Used as a 'clap back' phrase when your friend is being a little grem-o-lin. It is most commonly associated with a tiny, loud Puerto Rican tsundere. Urban Dictionary

What to say when you want to say OwO around a group of non-degenerates Urban Dictionary

Only true intellectuals will understand this. So, when using Tungsten dioxide make sure to actually know what it means and don't expect us, intellectuals to tell you. Urban Dictionary
