Tungsten, kent as wolfram an aa, is a chemical element wi the chemical seembol W an atomic nummer 74. The wird tungsten comes frae the Swadish leid tung sten directly translatable tae hivy stane, tho the name is volfram in Swadish tae distinguish it frae Scheelite, which in Swadish is alternatively named tungsten.
