Tungsten is a very dense, hard, temperature/corrosion-resistant metal. It is expensive so finds niche rather than large scale structural applications. Some example uses are rocket nozzles, nuclear and medical radiation shielding for x-ray and radiation therapy shields and industrial applications, aircraft and helicopter rotor balance weights, instrument balance weights, weights for sport equipment, tool damping cutter bars, and high voltage contacts.
