Newbie question

Why are there so few Tungsten alloys, considering its incredible
strength, high hardness and melting point I am a little surprised. Can
this not be used alloyed with Ti and Mo or Ni to create a new
superstrong amorphous alloy?

Tungsten doesn't have incredible strength...... And it doesn't have high hardness either.
You are confusing.....
You are confusing Tungsten Carbide, perhaps, with tunsten.
