Role in Daily Life

This section contains a general guide to tungsten, for use in schools or in any work place where knowledge of this unique metal's properties is limited.  Those wanting to extend their expertise can take the easy route ...... by navigating other sections of this website where extensive information can be found.

The first part is an animated explanation about the applications and benefits of tungsten.  It may be downloaded without prior permission and used at will, provided the acknowledgement is retained and the ITIA's website is cited as the source.

This PowerPoint Presentation- Tungsten Applications was kindly prepared for ITIA by Sojitz Beralt Tin and Wolfram (Portugal) SA, owners of the Panasqueira Tungsten Mine.

The second part is a look at the role that tungsten plays in our lives each day, by following a family of four - father, mother, son and daughter - from dawn to dusk, identifying the multiple encounters each has with tungsten-containing products.  It is taken from the December 2007 Newsletter.
