Which Is Better Nichrome Or Tungsten?

Which is better, nickel-chromium alloy or tungsten alloy?

The melting point of tungsten is much higher than that of nichrome (MP = 1400 C for nichrome and MP = 3422 C for tungsten).

For a typical light bulb, the tungsten filament operates at about 2500 degrees Celsius.

Arguably, this is actually higher than the melting point of nichrome.
