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,[5] tho the name is volfram in Swadish fur tae distinguish it frae Scheelite, at in Swadish is alternatively named tungsten.
