What metal is more resistant to heat than tungsten?
The melting point for tungsten, which is 3,422 degrees (boiling temperature 5,930 degrees), is the highest of all metal elements on the periodic table. No metal element is higher in melting point than the tungsten.
Tungsten is element number 74 in the VIB Group of Period 6. Each atom has the ability to form six metal bond.
There are elements that can be heated higher than tungsten. Solid carbon can reach temperatures as high as 3,627 degrees c. However, carbon does not have a fixed melting temperature (one atmosphere), because it sublimates between 3627 and 4330 degrees c.
Ta4HfC5, a material with a 4215-degree melting point, is currently the heat resistant material that has been manufactured by humans. The alloy is composed of tantalum carbide and hafnium carbide (melting point 4215), which melts at a temperature higher than that of tungsten.
The melting point of a material is dependent on its pressure. When pressure and temperature are higher than critical, however, the material will become superfluid, losing its melting point.
