Tungsten Applications in Petrochemicals and Gas Production
Relevance
Pure tungsten is a malleable and heavy metal similar to gold. Because of its chemical resistance, it does not react with nitric, hydrochloric or any other mixture of acids. To make the metal react with acids, it must be heated, then it dissolves with "king's vodka" and interacts with chlorine or sulfur.

Applications
Tungsten alloys are indifferent at high temperatures. It is impossible to do without tungsten in the manufacture of heat-resistant assemblies and parts that are operated in aggressive liquid and gas environments. Steadily growing demand for tungsten tubes can be traced not only to the petrochemical industry, but also to the nuclear power, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, the military-industrial complex and medicine.
