Five Strongest Metals In The World by Davidhero(m): 6:56pm On Aug 12, 2016
Ever since i watched Wolverine, i was so certain that Adamantium was the strongest metal on Earth. I decided to make some research and discovered that it was mere Fiction and it does not occur naturally.
So today i bring you a list of the Five Strongest Metals in the World. U better grab your note pad while reading this, cos these facts are Important.

Strength is an outstanding quality of metals So here you read about the strongest metal in the world. Metals used in construction, transportation and heavy industry. This metal strength are of many types. Yield strength, Compressive strength, Tensile strength and Impact strength.


1. Tungsten
Tungsten is the highest tensile strength metal with 1510 megapascals strength. Tungsten has steel grey colour. It found with the combination of various chemical elements. Tungsten has a very high melting point. Tungsten is very dense and brittle. It is 19.3 times denser than water. It is 71% denser than lead. Tungsten commonly used in electrical and military applications. Tungsten uses in steel and other alloys, it increases the strength of the alloy. Tungsten alloys use in light bulbs, X-ray and super alloys.


2. Steel
Steel is the combination of iron and carbon. It is made by heating iron ore furnace. And carbon is add in furnace and impurities removed These additional elements affect its properties such as toughness. Every year 1-3 billion tonnes steel are produced. Their extensive use is in transportation infrastructure, building and weapons industries. Modern and large buildings and bridges made of steel. Its ultimate strength is up to 5205 Mpa. Steels are of many types.


3. Titanium
Titanium is the silvered coloured metal. It has low density and high strength. It strength is 434 Mpa. Its low density makes it perfect use for industries. Pure titanium is powerful than standard steel. Titanium considers the backbone of the modern industry. Titanium uses in aircraft parts. It is classic metal for military and industrial applications.


4. Chromium
Chromium is the hard silvery metal with blue colour. Diamond is the hardest metal known to man but chromium is the strongest metal. It uses in stainless steel that is the best ingredient. It also produces the silver alloy. Chromium commonly uses in chrome plating that give protection against corrosion and physical damage. It is also used in industrial catalyse and pigments such as bright green, yellow, red and orange colour. Rubies red colour is due to chromium. Its melting point is 1890 degree C.

And whatever the dick is made from.



Lol! They are all just trying beside brother diamond though. One for covalent bonds!!

5. Osmium
Osmium is a bluish white colour. Its melting point is 3030 degrees C. It was discovered in 1803. Osmium is producing very hard alloys that used in fountain pen tips, needles and electrical contacts. 10 % osmium and 90% platinum uses in surgical implants like pacemakers and replacement of Heart Valves.

That’s a great post from a person who knows his metals. I have been following his blog for a long time now and its amazing how good he is and how learned he is in his studies about metals.
