Chemical symbol W. Gray metal with high tensile strength; ductile and malleable, immune to atmospheric influences and all acids but strong alkalis. Extremely pliable; can be drawn into filament for incandescent bulbs, rolled into thin sheet for radio tubes; ground into powder, and mixed with carbon and then embedded in soft metal (such as cobalt) to produce carbide tools, or alloyed within steel to make abrasion-resistant tool and die steels.
