Explanation:
thnk uh :)
Metal is a genus that describes a number of different materials that is usually shiny, electrically and thermally conductive and above all, hard. Metals are extremely diverse. In fact, more than 75 percent of the 118 elements on the periodic table are made of metals. So naturally, the question that poses itself to many is: “What are the hardest metals in the world?” In this article, we are looking at the many different kinds of metals, regardless of whether they are elements, compounds or alloys, to find out what the strongest and hardest metals are. Our list is guided by the Brinell scale which measures the indentation hardness of materials. It is important to note that there rarely is one unified value for one metal as they tend to vary, depending on what alloys and compounds they are made up of.
1.Tungsten (1960–2450 MPa)
Tungsten is one of the hardest metals you will find in nature. Also known as Wolfram, the rare chemical element exhibits a high density (19.25 g/cm3) as well as a high melting point (3422 °C/ 6192 °F). In its rare form, tungsten is hard to work with due to its brittleness which can be changed when turned pure. Tungsten is often utilized to create hard alloys, such as high speed steel to increase protection against abrasion as well as improve electrical conductivity.
