Resistant to corrosion and a great conductor of heat and electricity.

Fun Fact! Tungsten is alternately named “wolfram”, hence its atomic symbol “W”. Wolfram comes from German origins, meaning ‘to eat up tin like a wolf eats up sheep’ because of the large amounts of tin required to extract tungsten.
