Electroplating is the only practical way of putting on tungsten coats. But the electroplater needs a stable solution of a tungsten salt in water. Most tungsten compounds decompose in water or else are altogether insoluble.

The tungsten atom, thus kept free from changing relations, could be driven by an electric current and deposited on pieces of brass, copper, zinc, iron or carbon...

By reducing the oxides which corrode antique metal objects, he restores them to approximately their original form...
