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?

You are confusing.....
You are confusing Tungsten Carbide, perhaps, with tunsten.
