Which element has the highest melting point among metals?

Quick Answer

Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, at 3,422 °C.

The Full Story

Tungsten leads all metals in melting point, reaching 3,422 °C. This makes it exceptional for applications that involve intense heat and mechanical stress. Its high melting point is matched by a very high boiling point, which is why it has been so valuable in lighting and furnace technology. Few metals can remain solid where tungsten still holds its shape.
