>>730031221
>inb4 diamond

>>730031221
Americium because it is the freest of all the metals and because it saves lives and you can poison commies with it

>being this autistic

As a CNC machinist I aprove of carbide

>>730031221
Inb4 Jk is a faggot

diamond

>>730031221
Tungsten, the name is just fucking awesome.

Diamond because it's hardest metal.

Copper

Way cheaper than gold and conducts the fuck out of some electricity

>>730031221
Carbide Boyz fo lyf

carbide isn't a typical metal though. it's a sintered compound. that fucks me up. silver's prob my favorite

>>730031221
Carbide is not a substance, it is carbon bonded to another element such as tungsten carbide, titanium carbide or calcium carbide

Cobalt

>>730031221

i love tapping threads, its so satisfying for some reason

plutonium , it kills mofos

almost any metal can cut another if its going fast/hard enough.

Big boys talking metals fellow anon, please try to keep up.

Gold is a chemical element with symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79. In its purest form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element.

Gold is a transition metal just like copper, iron, nickel, and titanium. Are all of those not metal as well? The "metal" elements are all categorized in different groups, which are alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, lanthanoids, actinoids, and post-transition metals. They are all metals you fucking inbred retard jfc

Only compared to weight, there are steel alloys with higher tensile strength than titanium. Titanium is an extremely durable metal though and is excellent for applications where both low weight and high strength is needed.

Since we are including alloys like tungsten carbide, my favorite would be pretty much the entire chrome molybdenum steel family (ASTM 4000 series) 4140, 4340 etc

It's relatively cheap but still the best shit you can use for damn near everything without getting into all the lah-deh-dah inconels and monels and whatnot.

>>730031221
Carbide isn't a specific metal. I'm going to assume you mean tungsten carbide since that's what every home gamer seems to think is the best stuff.

Titanium

Carbide because I make the most money off it when i sell to factories.

H2S is pretty badass. I calculated how much it would take to kill every living thing in a 5 acre complex with the shit and an old 50 gallon propane tank charged to 300 psi should hold enough of the liquid form of H2S to wipe out the entire saviors compound in the walking dead.

Anyway back to metals, H2S makes a badass superconductor and a bunch of other shit when you compress it to obscene pressures.
