The element with a high melting point used in heating appliances is **tungsten (W)**. It has an exceptionally high melting point of about **3,422°C (6,192°F)**, making it ideal for applications where extreme heat resistance is required. Tungsten is commonly used in electric heaters, incandescent light bulb filaments, and industrial furnaces due to its durability and ability to withstand high temperatures without melting. Its excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to oxidation further enhance its effectiveness in heating applications.
