Tungsten has a very high melting point of 3,422 °C (6,191 °F), which is the highest melting point of all metals and second only to carbon among all elements. This high melting point is due to the strong metallic bonds between the tungsten atoms, which require a large amount of energy to break apart and melt the material. The high melting point of tungsten makes it a popular choice for high-temperature applications, such as in light bulb filaments, furnace components, and aerospace materials.
