A New Home for Tungsten in the UK


I was suitably heartened to hear about the new mine opening up in the Devon here in the UK to mine the element Tungsten.
I comment on this to my associates at Continuent, where comments were made by Csaba as to the appropriate quotes in the article:

“Tungsten is an extraordinary metal.”
“It’s almost as hard as a diamond and has one of the highest melting points of any mineral.”
“Adding a small amount to steel makes it far harder, far more resistant to stress and heat. The benefits to industry are obvious.”

Leading to him to suggest Adding a small amount of Tungsten to MySQL makes it far harder, far more resistant to stress and failures. The benefits to industry are obvious.
I couldn’t possibly agree more!
