Tungsten, W (also known as wolfram) - a chemical element with atomic number 74, a paramagnetic metal with the highest melting point of all the metals.¹⁾²⁾

Tungsten is added to magnetic alloys to increase their mechanical strength or hardness.

It is also used in hard magnetic materials such as tungsten steel for increasing coercivity.³⁾
