The strongest metal is Tungsten, when its in its purest form. Keeping in mind an alloy or combination of metals is not "a" metal. This is the strongest individual metal.
It has the highest melting point.
Also its the hardest.
And finally the highest tensile strength at temperatures above 1650°C
~A~

Well, the direct answer is: the stongest
Titanium is stronger then Berilium, but it is a
But the trends in a periodic table make this more interesting.
The metalic characteristic decreases from up to to down in periodic table. 1A and 2A groups are metal groups and B groups are transition metals.
Strongest transition metal :Titanium (stronger than berilium)
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)
Strongest material on the universe: Any particle from a black hole which is super dense. Stronger than anything else known by humanity.

Steel had a few alloys. ok, a lot of alloys. Titanium is strong and light weight so it has a great lets say power to weight ratio. Titanium has problems, like it hold an edge so it not sharp at all. what it all comes down to is what do u want to make? weapons should be steel and armor could be Titanium

Berillium or Titanium but metals become birttile when cold and shatter. So even the strongest metal shatters easily if super cooled.
Go for Adamentium (X-men). Wolverine operates just fine in Antarctica without having his bones shatter. :)

The strongest I can think of is titanium, although there are many types of carbon steel with extreme strength (sometimes over 100,000 psi).

You know I'm not that sure my primary thought is titanium. But beryllium is also pretty strong. So it's one of those 2.

It's Titanium

It depends on what type of strength you are looking for, tensile, shear, compressive, etc.
