How much heat can tungsten withstand?
Answer:
In a light bulb close to 4,500 degrees. ~
Melting point about 3422 °C (6192 °F)
Edison used carbonized fibers, not tungsten.
tuns
Melting Point: 3422 deg C.
Boiling Point: 5555 deg C.
It has the highest strengh of all metals over 1650 deg C.
Tungsten has one of the highest melting points on the periodic table, about 3400 degrees C, so the answer is, an awful lot.
Melting Point: 3680 K (3407 degrees C)
Boiling Point: 5930 K (5657 degrees C)
Enthalpy of Fusion: 35.2 kJ/mol
Enthalpy of Vaporisation: 824.2 kJ/mol
Gasseous Tungsten vapor can withstand even more heat.
Ionization energy to first ionization: 770 kJ/mol
(others are listed up to +6 if you are curious)
