Tungsten and its alloys are widely used for filaments in older style (not energy saving) electric bulbs and electronic tubes. It is used for making heavy metal alloys because of its hardness. Tungsten is used for high-temperature applications such as welding. High speed steel (which can cut material at higher speeds than carbon steel), contains up to 18% tungsten. Tungsten carbide (WC or W 2 C) is extremely hard and is used to make drills.
