Tungsten is a transition metal and has the highest melting point of all non-alloy metals. It has the second highest melting point of any element (after carbon). The largest use of tungsten is in tungsten carbide, which is a wear-resistant material used in the mining, metalworking, construction, and petroleum industries.
