Well, I’ve used tungsten cutting tools in manufacturing, I’ve seen aircraft parts (a rudder counterbalance) made out of tungsten and IIRC some armour-piercing ammunition....
Real dense, heavy stuff.
Raises all sorts of h*** with machine shops when you have to have it cut.

Lots of tungsten used in machining tools, i.e. tungsten carbide, and lots of use in welding rods.
