Tungsten has elevated tensile strength and better creep resistance. At temperatures above from 2205 OC (4000 OF), tungsten has twofold the tensile strength of strongest tantalum alloys and is only 10% denser. But, its high density, poor low-temperature ductility, and strong reactivity in air perimeter its usefulness. Maximum service temperatures for tungsten range around from 1925 to 2480 "C (or 3500 to 4500 OF), however surface protection is required for use in air at such temperatures.

Wrought tungsten (as cold worked) has high strength, directional mechanical properties, as well as some room-temperature toughness. But, re crystallization takes place rapidly above 1370 "C (2500 OF) and produces a grain structure which is crack sensitive at all temperatures.
