Have you ever wondered what the strongest metal on Earth is? In today's video, we will explore this question and unravel the mysteries of the most resistant metals and their diverse applications. Speak up, engineering lovers! Today, we're going to answer one of the most frequently asked questions in the comments: what is the strongest metal in the world?
There are several ways to measure the strength of a metal, such as tensile strength, which indicates the maximum load a metal can withstand before breaking, and yield strength, which measures the stress required to cause permanent deformation. For example, tungsten is famous for having the highest tensile strength among pure metals, making it arguably the strongest metal in the world. However, it is not the hardest metallic element nor the strongest in relation to its weight.
In addition to tungsten, we will discuss other incredible metals. Steel, for example, is an extremely strong and versatile alloy, widely used in construction, the automotive industry and many other sectors. Carbon steel can have a tensile strength of up to 1100 Mpa and a hardness of 7 to 8 on the Mohs scale.
We will also talk about osmium, one of the densest metals and its applications in high-strength alloys, and chromium, which is the hardest metal on Earth with 8.5 on the Mohs scale. Chromium is widely used for coatings that protect against corrosion and for the manufacture of metal alloys.
And we can't forget titanium, which has the best strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. It is 45% lighter than steel but almost as strong, and its alloys are essential for aerospace and defense applications due to their strength and lightness. Titanium nitride, with a hardness equivalent to sapphire, is used in cutting tools.
Each metal has unique characteristics that make it ideal for different applications. So whether you're a fan of tungsten, steel, osmium, chromium or titanium, they all have their place in engineering and industry.
