Titanium is NOT the strongest metal. It is often thought of as the strongest but actually it has one of the highest strength to weight ratios. I.e., for a metal that is so light-weight, it is extremely strong. Typically it has a ultimate tensile strength of up to 170,000 psi. Another unique property is that its strength does not deteriorate in high temperature applications. This makes it ideal for use in aerospace especially engine components.
There are many metals much stronger than this. Two stainless steels that come to mind are 17-4PH and 15-5PH which can achieve Ftu of 180,000 to 200,000 psi through heat treatment.
Inconel 625 which is used in the aerospace industry, typically in the production of high-strength fasteners used in critical joints can achieve ultimate shear strengths of 220,000 psi.
Intermediate alloy steels such as 5Cr-Mo-V has an Ftu of up to 280 ksi. Also low alloy steel such as AISI 4130 used in aircraft landing gear has extremely high bearing strength, tensile and compression strength.

You need to define what you mean by "strongest" Tensile strength in a material is not a guide,
Lead is a heavy dense metal that can stop radiation but it is poor at withstanding heat
Titanium is generally accepted as the strongest material in its own right that we would consider to be a metal, it is 45% lighter than high carbon steel.
Alloy is the answer, Every metallic element known to man can be improved by introducing another element.
As an Engineer I'm gonna stick my neck out and say Titanium- because it's widely used.
There are alloys that use elements like Zirconium which would make it impervious to corrosion.
Unless you are wanting to build a car that could navigate Saturn's rings.
Stick with good old Titanium-- Scania use it to make conrods and Scania Conrods never break :P

The metallic characteristic decreases from up to to down in periodic table. 1A and 2A groups are metal groups and B groups are transition metals. Strongest metal: Ber ilium Strongest transition metal :Titanium (stronger than beri lium) Strongest Aloy: An alloy of about 2% beryllium and 97% nickel, with a touch of titanium. It has an ultimate tensile strength of 300,000 psi, and 245,000 psi yield strength! This is 375% stronger than the best high tensile steel. The tensile strength of 98.5% beryllium is about 58,000 psi, so it seems to do a lot better when mixed with other metals (from web) (stronger than any metal) Strongest material on the earth: Carbon nanofibers.(stronger than alloys, even stronger than diamond)

🤔 I thought the strongest Metal was Megadeath, although there are several others that come to mind such as Avenged Sevenfold depending on your definition of metal. 😜🤓😎 I figured this conversation was getting a little Heavy so I decided to Steel the conversation & add some humor. It's probably not Alloyed, but hey, have a Copper👮 try to arrest me for Foiling a Yahoo question. Okay, I'm done now...I Zinc.🗣🗣🗣

The strongest metal ever is Iron Maiden, kickin over 40 years, with many lineup changes, still cranking out albums!

*****-alloy. applications are pleasure and, with18 years and 9 months, chaos. tensile and yield strength are 1:1 for periods up to 4 hours. If 1:1 for more than 4 hours consult physician immediately. But in all seriousness, probably what optimus prime is made of. If it didn t explode with Michael bay s direction, then it must be tough.

Guys
dont you know? Adamantium is the strongest metal!

Idiots trying to show that they're smart. The question is: What is the strongest metal known to man.
The answer could be:
Titanium for best strength to weight ratio.
Certain steel types if weight is not an issue.
Tungsten for all around workable metal.
Carbon is NOT metal! Graphene is NOT metal. It's like saying a pencil is a stylus.

The strongest metal is obviously water.
