Owing to its high atomic number, tungsten enables a considerably higher X-ray output. In addition, its high melting-point and its good thermal conductivity make tungsten an excellent material for the stationary and rotating anodes of X-ray tubes used for medical diagnosis.

Thoriated tungsten wire is used for the directly-heated cathodes of X-ray tubes.

Alloying tungsten with rhenium increases the resistance to the electron impact on the focal track of the target, thereby reducing dose losses and also enabling the X-ray tube to be operated at higher loads.

Seamless tungsten crucibles of different sizes are used for the reprocessing of spent reactor fuel elements and for handling many molten metals.

Tungsten is also used, for example, as a material for MHD generator components, diaphragms of ion accelerators, parts of emitters and electrode supports for Q-machines in plasma research, limiters and other parts of Tokamak fusion test reactors (TFTR) and for rocket nozzles.
