Chemical and Physical Properties of Tungsten wire 10

Tungsten wire’s unique chemical and physical properties make it widely used in light bulbs, electronic devices, and high-temperature industrial applications. I. Chemical Properties of Tungsten Wire 1. Chemical Stability: Tungsten is chemically stable at room temperature and does not readily react with oxygen, water, acids, or alkalis. At high temperatures (such as those found in incandescent lamps), tungsten slowly oxidizes to form tungsten trioxide (WO?). Therefore, bulbs must be filled with an inert gas (such as argon or nitrogen) or…
