Tungsten experments

Hi all,

I recently was given a bunch of lanthanated tungsten rod ends. These are left over after making welding tips and I got a couple pounds of them. So far, other than grinding a few interesting cutters out of a few I haven't really come up with much of a use for them.

I have read a bit about tungsten oxide as a catalyst in some industrial processes, but nothing really struck my intrest.

Does anyone out there have any cool experements involving tungsten?

Thanks

WO3 is good for thermites.
