According to the International Tungsten Industry Association (ITIA), tungsten has a melting point of 3,422°C (6,192°F; 3,695°K), with a 15°C range either way. Silvery white and lustrous in appearance, tungsten’s high melting point means it is used in high-temperature applications. Tungsten is used to make filaments for electric light bulbs, although these bulbs have now been phased out in many countries.
