The metal most resistant to heat is tungsten. Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals, at 3,422 degrees Celsius (6,192 degrees Fahrenheit). This means that tungsten can withstand extremely high temperatures without melting or losing its strength. Tungsten is also very hard and dense, making it resistant to wear and tear. These properties make tungsten ideal for use in applications where high temperatures and durability are required, such as in light bulb filaments, heating elements, and rocket nozzles.
