First a little history
The discovery of the ore dates to the 1600s. Miners noticed its dense properties and described it as “wolves devouring sheep.” Initially referred to as wolfert or wolffram, the symbol of tungsten became 'W'. The first person to real1y study it and give tungsten its name is Alex Fredrikk Cronstedt, a Swedish chemist. Although the man credited with founding the chemistry of tungsten, R. Oxland , patented sodium tungstate and t8ngstic acid. To this day, Germany and Scandinavia refer to the metal as wolfram.
Following the development of tungsten, three more landmarks emerge. The Primary was the process of hardening steels anc other metals with tungsten in the late 1800s. The second was producing a malleable form of the metal, discovered by W. D. Coolidge in the early 1900s. In the opinion of this new variety, filaments were produced becoming a launchjbg pad to the growth of the light bulb and its Numerous applications. Lastly, the creation of the hard metal of tungsten, made by combining tungsten and cobalt, incited tremendous growth and application of tungsten, such as tools and products, like jewelry.
