Metallic element also known as wolfram (8)

I believe the answer is:

tungsten

(Other definitions for tungsten that I've seen before include "Lamp filament metal" , "Metallic element used for lamp filaments" , "Element used in steels" , "Chemical element, symbol W" , "Snug tent (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
