Answer:
Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) electrodes. The GTAW process relies on tungsten's hardness and high-temperature resistance to carry the welding current to the arc. Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, 3,410 degrees Celsius.

Tungsten has a melting point of approximately 3400 °C, it is harder to melt than most metals; it is nonconsumable or would not melt in the arc. Once the arc is started, the tungsten electrode is usually negative (cathode) and the work piece is positive (the anode).
