Historie
Torbern Bergman obtained from scheelite an oxide of a new element in 1781.

In 1783, José and Fausto Elhuyar found an acid made from wolframite that was identical to tungstic acid.

Later that year, in Spain, the brothers succeeded in isolating tungsten by reduction of this acid with charcoal, and they are credited with the discovery of the element.

Applications
Tungsten and its alloys are widely used for filaments in electric bulbs and electronic tubes.

Tungsten carbide is of great importance to the metal-working, mining, and petroleum industries.

Tungsten oxides are used in ceramic glazes and calcium/magnesium tungstates are used widely in fluorescent lighting.
Tungsten is considered to be of low toxicity
