The discovery of superhard tungsten tetraboride is further evidence for the promising design approach of covalently bonding incompressible transition metals with boron. While WB 4 was first synthesized and identified as the highest boride of tungsten in 1966, [52] it was only recognized as an inexpensive superhard material in 2011. [53]
Tungsten borides are compounds of tungsten and boron. Their most remarkable property is high hardness. Their most remarkable property is high hardness. The Vickers hardness of WB or WB 2 crystals is ~20 GPa [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and that of WB 4 is ~30 GPa for loads exceeding 3 N. [ 3 ]
Because tungsten is a rare metal [134] and its compounds are generally inert, the effects of tungsten on the environment are limited. [135] The abundance of tungsten in the Earth's crust is thought to be about 1.5 parts per million.

Tungsten diarsenide is a black solid. It forms crystals in the monoclinic crystal system with the same structure of molybdenum diarsenide. Tungsten diarsenide is insoluble in hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid and alkaline aqueous solutions. It reacts with concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid. [1]
Tungsten ditelluride (W Te 2) is an inorganic semimetallic chemical compound. In October 2014, tungsten ditelluride was discovered to exhibit an extremely large magnetoresistance : 13 million percent resistance increase in a magnetic field of 60 tesla at 0.5 kelvin. [ 3 ]

Tungsten carbide (chemical formula: WC) is a chemical compound (specifically, a carbide) containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes through sintering [7] for use in industrial machinery, engineering facilities, [8] molding blocks, [9] cutting tools, chisels, abrasives, armor ...
