What metal is more resistant to heat than tungsten?
The melting point for tungsten, which is 3,422, is the highest of all metal elements on the periodic table (boiling temperature 5,930). No metal element is higher in melting point than the tungsten.
Tungsten is element number 74 in the VIB Group of Period 6. Each atom has the ability to form six metal bond.
There are elements that can be heated higher than tungsten. Solid carbon can reach temperatures as high as 3,627 degrees c. However, carbon does not have a fixed melting temperature (one atmosphere), because it sublimates between 3627 and 4330 degrees c.
Ta4HfC5, a material with a 4215-degree melting point, is currently the most heat resistant material that has been manufactured by humans. It's made from tantalum carbide and hafnium carbide (melting point nearly 4000), both of which are more heat resistant than tungsten.
The melting point of a material is dependent on its pressure. The higher the pressure the higher it will be. But when temperature and pressure go beyond critical, then the material becomes superfluid, losing its melting point.
