Hi

Here devil1407

Tungsten is used almost exclusively for making the filaments of electric bulbs because it has very high melting point(of 3380*C) due to which the tunsten filament can be kept white-hot without melting away.

Moreover, tunsten has hugh flexibility and low rate of evaporation at high temperature.

Hope it helps u

Thanx.....Bye
