- Description
Env. 5: Chinese life
'China has a virtual monopoly of the world's known deposit of wolfram (tungsten). Since tungsten has the highest melting point of any known metal, it is an invaluable alloy for armament steels required for heavy armor plate, etc. In peacetime its industrial uses are chiefly for electric light filaments, spark plugs, distributor points, and in the manufacture of high speed tool steels (p. 180, Plate 10).'
