can you name a few alloys from the substance mentioned above?
High speed steel and quenched (martensitic) tungsten steel.
Tungsten
The hardness and density of tungsten are applied in obtaining heavy metal alloys. A good example is high speed steel, which can contain as much as 18% tungsten. Tungsten's high melting point makes tungsten a good material for applications like rocket nozzles, for example in the UGM-27 Polaris submarine-launched ballistic missile. Tungsten alloys are used in a wide range of applications, including the aerospace and automotive industries and radiation shielding. Superalloys containing tungsten, such as Hastelloy and Stellite, are used in turbine blades and wear-resistant parts and coatings.
what is gas tungsten arc welding? It is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. is there a gas used in this welding process? Yes, shielding gas what specific gas is used? Helium why are such gases used in this process? To protect the welding area from atmospheric gases. what are some of the applications of this process? Its used in welding thin workpieces, manufacture of space vehicles, bicycle industry, etc. what is that electrode which is used in this process made up of? Tungsten what is the melting point of this substance? UNANSWERABLE

Superalloys containing tungsten, such as Hastelloy and Stellite, are used in turbine blades and wear-resistant parts and coatings. Quenched (martensitic) tungsten steel (approx. 5.5% to 7.0% W with 0.5% to 0.7% C) was used for making hard permanent magnets, due to its high remanence and coercivity, as noted by John Hopkinson (1849–1898) as early as 1886.
