If it is truly tungsten and not tungsten carbide then it can be forged  
but, the forging temperature is 2900F - 3000F way hotter than your  
forge would typically operate. If it is tungsten carbide then no you  
cannot forge it as it is a ceramic not a metal it is formed by  
sintering and ground to shape.
