From multi-level parking garages to skyscrapers amidst a bustling city, modern industrial processes need materials that are capable of withstanding a lot. On the hunt for strong materials, engineers turn to metals, thanks in part to their strength, availability, and versatility. But with so many different types of metals available, which ones are the strongest? Learn more, here.

The 4 Strongest and Hardest Metals on Earth

1. Tungsten: The Strongest Metal on Earth

Of all the metals, tungsten reigns supreme in terms of tensile strength. Coming in at an ultimate strength of 1510 Megapascals, tungsten is one of the toughest metals known to man. Besides tungsten’s superior strength, the metal also has the highest melting point of any unalloyed metal. Because of its strength, tungsten is often used in electrical and military applications.

2. Chromium: The Hardest Metal on Earth

Chromium is the hardest metal known to man. While you may not have heard of chromium, more than likely you’ve heard of stainless steel. Chromium is the key ingredient in stainless steel, thus it is used in a variety of settings.

3. Steel: The Strongest Alloy on Earth

While steel is technically an alloy rather than a metal, it is the strongest alloy currently available. Researchers are attempting to create stronger combinations of elements, but for now, steel mixed with a few other elements is considered the strongest. Steel is made from iron and carbon and is a highly versatile alloy. Because of its versatility, it’s a great option for a variety of projects.

4. Titanium

Titanium is one of the strongest metals out there, with an ultimate strength of more than 430 Megapascals. While titanium is built tough, it’s one of the least dense metals, making it an ideal option for industrial uses that require a strong metal with a high melting point. Even better, titanium is stronger than steel, lighter in weight, and abundant, making this metal not only strong but extremely useful, too.
