I'm doing some research for my high school chemistry class, and I can't find any info on the hardness of metals. Please, what's the hardest metal known to man?

Unobtainium is a joke that has been used for decades.

gb2university and get a real cultural education

Correct. The correct answer is SCRITH. Scrith has an unbelievable tensile strength ... about "50000 times more resilient than the toughest steel alloy". The bonding forces within Scrith are on the order of the strong nuclear force.

Why do you even bother making such comments since you have no measurable effect in the direction you indicate? You fail even as a loser. Losers look at YOU and conclude rightly that they're not really that bad off, since YOU set a new low.

They were dicks to me FIRST, assbrain. I give as good as I get, and then some. So, here's yours:

Do a barrel roll and drown in spurting pearl jam.

Now, back to the topic. What did you mean by "metal"? Do you mean:

1. Elemental metal.
2. Alloyed metal.

If #1 was your aim, then the answer is Chromium, at 8.5 on the Mohs scale.

If #2 is your aim, then the answer is Alloy 1090 of carbon steel. Note that that's still softer than diamond (which is the hardest substance known).

His aim was either diamond or Dragonforce. What the hell is wrong with you?
