A strand tungsten filament is a thin, flexible wire made from tungsten, a chemical element known for its exceptional strength, high melting point, and resistance to heat. Tungsten, with an atomic number of 74, has the highest melting point of any metal—over 3,400°C (6,150°F)—making it ideal for use in applications where high temperatures are encountered. The “strand” refers to the specific form of the tungsten filament, which is typically a fine wire made by drawing tungsten through a series of…
