tungsten metal

Is Tungsten Magnetic? A Comprehensive Guide

Tungsten in its pure form is not magnetic because its atomic structure doesn't allow for the alignment of magnetic domains, which is necessary for magnetism. However, when tungsten is alloyed with other metals, it can exhibit weak ferromagnetic properties, though the magnetism is generally quite limited.
